Adult audiences follow Kristin on her hilarious and poignant personal adventures, whether it is childbirth, a driver’s test, or getting lost on a mountain ~ all with the underlying theme of personal and spiritual transformation.
Kristin resides in Morristown, NJ and has done so for the past ten years. She graduated with a BFA in acting and spent 20 years acting and studying professionally in Boston, Chicago, and New York City. She walked away from it all to be an at-home mother when her first child was born. It was then that her gift of storytelling burst forth and she wrote her first one~woman storytelling show. Since that time, in 2002, she has been thrilling audiences up and down the East Coast.
Audience members have described their experiences as “hilarious, relevant, inspiring and thought provoking.” Pam M. of Morristown says “I can’t remember when something such a great impact ~ what a great message, I felt so happy afterward! Kristin is an Angel and definitely heaven sent.”
