About Kristen
My writing adventures began when I published my first short story about Rag Tag, a runaway dog, in a children’s literary journal in 4th grade. Once I discovered how much I loved writing stories and sharing them, I seized every opportunity to write.
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve helped multiple businesses, schools, and nonprofits grow and thrive through targeted marketing efforts in a variety of director and leadership roles. Along the way, I developed a passion for expressing joy through communication to help people share their gifts with the world. To every client interaction, I bring a wealth of experience managing teams, guiding owners and employees in their marketing strategy, and creating content that aligns clients' vision, values, and voice.
As an International Bestselling Author and a lover of all things books, I also coach Authors in Action. I created this online community for authors seeking guidance, community, accountability, resources, and inspiration as they write their books. You can find more information about joining our community here.
