A native of Greenwich Village, NYC, Kristy put down roots in Plymouth, MA, before making her way to the West Coast in 2013. She joined VLT in March 2025.

Kristy holds a B.S. in Foods and Nutrition from Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa. While her early interests focused on health, wellness, and nutrition, her career quickly evolved into business management. Over the years, she has served as the Business Manager for a chiropractic practice, an organic coffee company, and an integrative health and wellness center. She also works closely with avocado and horse ranches and is a certified organic inspector.

Although she started as a “city girl,” Kristy now calls Ventura home and considers it the perfect “sweet spot” of the California coast. She deeply values the open space and natural beauty of the region and is proud to be part of a team that protects, restores, and maintains these shared landscapes.

Maintaining a bicoastal lifestyle with children on both coasts, Kristy splits her time between California and Massachusetts. When not traveling, she enjoys live music, yoga, hiking, and long-distance walking. She has completed several renowned treks including the Camino Francés, Caminho Português, and Via Degli Dei, and is eagerly anticipating the opening of the Ventura Hillsides Preserve as part of her training for her next great adventure.
