ABOUT KRISTIN:

A native Rhode Islander with an unabashed love for her tiny home state, Kristin has an MA in Art History, a strong background in non-profit event management and program development, and has taught Art History as an adjunct at the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI).

As the event and program coordinator at the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University, Kristin worked to grow the presence of the museum in the community through hands-on public programming, social media outreach, and student-centered events. Her transition into the Providence Campus Events department at the university enabled her to develop her skills in executing high-level events for the administration, board members and executives.

In May of 2016, Kristin took on a volunteer role with the PVD Lady Project as the Special Events Coordinator, and has recently been appointed City Manager. She is responsible for supporting the overall mission of the Lady Project by ensuring the continued success of the Providence chapter’s events and outreach.
