 Life/work/play, it's
all about honoring authenticity and enjoying as much as
possible.
Those who have met me in
person usually comment on my energy. I'm a positive,
energetic and friendly person. I have had several careers,
all of which were chosen to honor my passions and values at
the time.
I'm a big believer in
extreme self-care; scheduled white space, journaling,
drinking lots of water, connecting with friends, and getting
outside to touch grass. I enjoy singing, hiking,
volunteering and musical theater. I also enjoy hosting
gatherings such as an annual bbq where my husband and I
invite family, friends, and co-workers to join us for a day
of food and games. I enjoy watching everyone from different
parts of our lives intermingle and get to know each other.
I believe life was meant
to be enjoyed. At the same time, I am keenly aware that
there are just too many people in our country (and the
world) who are forgotten, mistreated and disadvantaged by a
system that's stacked against them. I'm on a mission to
change that through activism and my career, working with
others who want the same.

In 2017
I
closed down my Marketing Coaching & Consulting
business after 9 good and fulfilling years. My values and
priorities changed. While I loved helping life coaches
reach more clients and grow their businesses through
marketing, I was not making an impact on the injustices of
our country. It became most important to stand with those
who don't have means, opportunity and access. I have
always wanted to affect change. Coaches create GREAT
change in the individuals they work with, but it is not
social change on a grassroots level.
In my volunteer work, I kept seeing ways
I could impact messaging, volunteer engagement and growth
of grassroots organizations. With my business, I didn't
have time to do that. I was torn for almost a year. Then I
just had to shift. So, I combined all that I am as a
Marketing Expert, Professional Speaker, Organizer,
Planner, Strategist, Leader, former Educator and have been
working or supporting nonprofit organizations. From
volunteer coordination, to program management working with
youth in poverty, to statewide organizing, to making sure
nonprofits have the right technology to grow their impact.
I have reached my dream of making a living while giving
back. For more information, visit my LinkedIn profile at

KRISTEN the
Nonprofit Volunteer
Organizer, Leader, and
Communications Advisor
I have always been involved in some sort of cause. Whether
that was through my church growing up, running a save the
whales fundraising campaign in 6th grade, or organizing
rallies and local actions from 2017 to 2021. In my current
congregation, I have led leadership training, organized a
services auction (continuing on as Auctioneer each year),
led white ally group, and continue to help create equity in
our congregation. As a Co-Founder of Rank the
Vote Ohio, I jumped right in leading volunteer onboarding
and then moved into leading communications before taking
on my current role as the Voter Advocacy Liaison to
statewide coalitions working on voter reform. I have led
efforts to defeat multiple ban bills by training volunteers
to testify at the statehouse and writing action inspiring
communications.

Yes, once upon a time, I was a NYC Singer/Actress. I lived
the life of an actor before I became an entrepreneur. I
still sing when I get the chance and when the appropriate
roles come up, I most certainly audition. These days acting
isn't nearly as important as it used to be. It's not a way
to make a living anymore. It's just fun. That's the way I
like it.
