Kristin was born in Ohio and grew up outside of Chicago. Her father was
a chemical engineer and her talented, beautiful mother stayed home with
their four children. She was cast in countless school plays as a
youngster.
After graduating from the University of Illinois with a BFA in Dance,
she moved to New York City to continue training and was spotted on the
streets of Soho by Annie Flanders, who later became the editor of
Details magazine. She was introduced to Wilhelmina, signed, and found
herself in Paris doing runway shows two weeks later. During her time
traveling between France and New York she became fluent in French.
For the next ten years, runway modeling was her day job, while she
returned to her first love and trained at prestigious acting studios
including Wynn Handman of the American Place Theatre in New York. She
acted in films, off-off Broadway plays, television including All My
Children and commercials.
After several years off stage and screen, Kristin has come back to appear and star in plays,
commercials and numerous indie films, most notably Gnaw,
The Black Hole and The Frame.
