Kristin is an award-winning graduate of Hart High School who went on to find great success winning back-to-back conference titles as an All-State setter for Nabil Mardini at Pierce College. In her second season with the Lady Brahmas, Kristin captained the squad all the way to the State Finals, the first time the prestigious program went that deep into the post-season.

With an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and a Master’s in Coaching and Athletic Administration adding to her accomplished background and overall excellence, Kristin earned her coaching stripes with long-time club volleyball staple SMBC Girls, back when it was under the care and direction of her old Pierce coach, Nabil. Her coaching acumen and ability manifested itself in short order -- and as such Kristin was hired as the Head Girl’s Varsity Coach for Notre Dame Sherman Oaks High School, a position she held successfully for multiple years.

Kristin has also compiled a lengthy club resumѐ as a valuable member of the LAVA coaching staff since its inception in 2010. She has logged multiple seasons at the 13's, 14′s, 17′s, and 18′s age divisions, bringing an infectious energy to LAVA North, enthusiasm which most certainly transfers over to her players.

Kristin was been so valuable, in fact, that in 2015 she took over the role of Director for LAVA North, allowing her to impact more than just her own teams as the point person for the entire North program. During her tenure, LAVA North has earned five medals in national tournament competition, including two (gold and silver) at the USA Volleyball Junior National Championships.
