BIOGRAPHY
Kristin's love for fitness has been lifelong. At a young age she dabbled with every sport from water polo to golf, but ultimately dedicated many years to competitive swimming. Over the years, swimming became more than a sport for Kristin. It became the perfect outlet for discipline and hard work that left her feeling physically and mentally strong-- in other words, she just plain felt good and happy.
Kristin's father is famous for reciting the Henry MacKay quote, 'Find something you love to do, and you'll never have to work a day in your life'. Being fascinated by the feel-good power of fitness and curious about wellness, Kristin began her journey to make her passion her life's work by attending Elon University to study Exercise Sports Science and Business.

Through these positions Kristin gained in-depth experience in employee health and wellness.
