Kristina grew up near Cape Cod where she spent summers on the ocean, either sailing on Buzzards Bay or working for the family's oyster farm business. Winters were always vacations up to the White Mountains to ski. She moved to NH after graduating from Plymouth State University with a Music Education degree and spent several years teaching and working part-time for Eastern Mountain Sports, which fed her true passion for the outdoors. An avid mountain biker and skier, she currently resides in Killington, Vermont where the mountain in her backyard is one of the best playgrounds New England has to offer.
