When asked what she loves most about her role in the church, she lights up and responds, “I really enjoy walking alongside teens as they encounter Christ in their own unique way. Each person has a different personal relationship with our Lord and getting to help develop and witness that bond is beautiful.”
Kristin also serves as the Athletic Director for St. Joseph and St. John the Baptist schools. She has always had a passion for sports as prior to working for the church; Kristin was the Head Women’s Volleyball Coach at Chatham University and Assistant Women’s Volleyball Coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she received her Masters degree in Sport Science.

She and her family love spending time outdoors including running & biking, playing various sports, enjoying the sun and sand at the beach, and even barbecuing on their back patio.
“I feel so blessed to have been called to each unique role in my life and surrounded by a loving and supportive family and community. I am looking forward to our journey in becoming one vibrant parish and continuing serving those around me.”
