Kristin is originally from Texas. She earned her BS in elementary education from SNU, but after teaching for a few years, she knew God was calling her in a deferent direction. This led her to Nazarene Theological Seminary where she earned her MA in Intercultural Studies. She has loved serving as the NMI president at her local church over the last few years.
