Favorite Quote:

"Trees fall with spectacular crashes. But planting is silent and growth is invisible." -Richard Powers

Scholastics:

Kristina received her AA in English from Sierra College back when she still lived in California. She is hoping to return to school within the next year once she has obtained Oregon residency and work towards her degree in Marketing so she can better promote and further her career in Art and Illustration.

Credentials:

Fun fact! Kristina is a certified and registered nutritionist for cats and dogs! She is a huge lover of animals (She has a dog and two cats) and she loves that she is able to help people give their pets the healthiest and happiest lives possible.

Experience:

Kristina has worked in customer service in various forms for the past seven years. She is very passionate about helping and connecting with people face to face on a daily basis. Working in customer service has afforded her the opportunity to come in contact with so many different people and walks of life, helping her broaden my views and understanding of herself. Kristina hopes to have her own business someday that combines her love of making and distributing art with her love of connecting with her community.

Hobbies:

Kristina is a lifelong creative and she loves expressing that through many different outlets such as crocheting, cooking, writing poetry and baking. However, her greatest love is painting. She loves that she can let go and get lost in a painting and always end up with something beautiful in the end, even if it's not what she originally expected. Kristina is also very interested in mental health, wellness, and personal growth so you can regularly find her listening to podcasts, watching seminars or doing her own research on the subject.
