Prior to her consulting work, Kristin spent five and a half years leading academic strategy at STRIVE Prep, a network of ten K-12 public charter schools in Denver, CO. While there, she built a common network curricular approach and a set of instructional strategies with aligned development and supports that led to the strongest student gains the network had seen since the 2013 transition to the Common Core.

Kristin also has extensive school based experience. She has been a middle and high school math and science teacher, a dean of culture, and a founding school principal. She has had the privilege of teaching and leading in Chicago, New York, and now Denver.

Kristin was the first person in her family to earn a college degree, which is a significant part of what fuels her passion for education equity. She holds a BA in Psychology and Environmental Policy from Northwestern University, a Master’s in Education for Teaching from Bank Street College, and a Master’s in Education for School Leadership from Columbia University. 

When she is not in schools obsessing about excellent instruction, you can find Kristin exploring the Rocky Mountains in an RV with her family.
