Kristina builds unique teams by creating meaningful literacy and art therapy workshops with skilled professionals. She uses her nearly twenty years experience in business development and curriculum creation. Her passion for her work drives her never to give up. Kristina wants to change how people communicate and work together by focusing on youth voices.
She teaches children English as a second language and helps adults worldwide through EF (Education First). Kristina connects communities of all kinds, especially those that are underserved. She provides access to information and civic dialogue through cultural gatherings, community art projects, and storytelling workshops.
