Before joining JFF, Kristina served in a variety of roles of escalating authority with EsteemLogic, Booz Allen Hamilton, SAIC, General Dynamics, and American Institutes for Research.

Kristina has a passion for education, empowerment, and wealth building. She wants to make sure that all people, especially women, have pathways to education and reliable pathways to solid jobs that lead to rewarding careers and economic advancement. For some adults, this may mean learning new skills at community college, obtaining a four-year degree online, working toward a promotion with an employer, or pursuing entrepreneurship as a career.
