About Kristin
For 21 years, Kristin has worked in public education helping students grow, succeed, and discover their potential. As a teacher and curriculum leader, she has dedicated her career to making sure students have the support, opportunities, and resources they need to thrive.
Her commitment to students goes beyond the classroom. Kristin has coached academic teams, mentored young people, and worked closely with families to help students succeed both inside and outside of school. Her students’ academic growth has ranked among the top in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; something she is incredibly proud of because it reflects the progress and success her students achieve.
Working in education every day has given Kristin a firsthand understanding of how important strong schools are for families and communities.
Kristin and her husband, Jim, are raising three daughters who keep their lives busy with school, sports, and community activities. Like many families across the district, their days are filled with early mornings, practices, school events, and the constant balancing act of work and family life.
Kristin’s husband owns a small Union HVAC business that serves local families and businesses. A few years ago, they made the decision to join the Sheet Metal Workers Union so their employees could earn fair wages and have access to healthcare benefits. What some people initially saw as a costly decision quickly became one of the best investments they ever made; strengthening their business and supporting the workers who help it succeed.
Kristin was raised in a hardworking family that believed in showing up for your community, working hard, and treating people with respect. Those values continue to guide how she raises her daughters and how she serves the community today.
Kristin has never been afraid to speak up when something isn’t working.
When a teachers’ contract left many educators feeling discouraged and undervalued, Kristin decided to step forward and run for chief negotiator for her union. Despite having little leadership experience at the time, she believed the system could work better for both educators and taxpayers.
Working with teachers and district leaders, Kristin helped negotiate a new agreement that restored fairness and stability while remaining responsible to the community. The contract was overwhelmingly approved by union members, earning the highest voter turnout and approval rate in the union’s history.
The experience reinforced something Kristin believes deeply:
“Our future depends on people choosing not to stay silent when something isn’t right , but choosing to step up and be part of the solution.”

Kristin recently stepped up again to serve as a School Board Director in the Neshaminy School District, where she works to protect students, support educators, and ensure taxpayers’ dollars are used responsibly.
Through her work in education and on the school board, Kristin has seen that many of the biggest challenges facing local communities—school funding, affordability, and public safety are shaped by decisions made in Harrisburg.
She believes our communities deserve leadership that listens, works across differences, and focuses on practical solutions.
That’s why Kristin is running for State Representative: to make sure the voices of working families in District 142 are heard and to fight for stronger schools, safer communities, and a future where families can succeed.
