Kristin joined the Adair County Family YMCA in April 2016 as the Membership and Wellness Director. In March 2017, she was named the Chief Executive Officer. "It's a great honor to lead such a cause-driven organization, especially one that I grew up in as a kid. I am committed to leading this organization to make an impact for years to come."

In Kristin's free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, David and trying to keep up with her young children.

 I grew up in Southern Illinois and came to Missouri for law school. After graduating from Mizzou School of Law, I practiced law in private practice in Kirksville while teaching fitness classes at the YMCA in my spare time. After 15 years of practicing law, my husband and I were blessed with twin boys. I took some time off with my babies and during that time, I accepted the position as Director of Membership, Wellness and Fitness here at the YMCA and never looked back.

I am passionate about the YMCA and everything we do for children, our members, and our community. In my free time, you can find me busy with my chilren's sports and activities and volunteering as the President of the Kirksville Primary School PTA.

I am from Washington, Missouri, located about 180 miles southeast of Kirksville. I graduated from Washington High School in 2018 and then followed my passion for volleyball to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. There, I  completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in May 2022, followed by my Master's in Sport Psychology in May 2024 while playing D1 volleyball.

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a team whose values and mission resonate so deeply with my own. I am passionate about the intersection of sports and psychology, and I believe that mental skills are essential to overall wellness. I'm excited to bring that passion to a place that values well-being and community.
