When faced with barriers of age, gender and looks - once being told “You’re in the room to improve the view” - she simply rolled up her sleeves and built integrity through hard work and grit.  She shares how important it is to read the landscape, stay objective and build relationships based on common ground.  Not letting ‘what is’ get in her way, Kristin will inspire all to move beyond the truth of the matter.

Kristin is a Principal in State Advocacy and Appropriations with BGR, a bipartisan lobbying and communications firm in Washington, DC.  She uses her many years of state government experience to assist clients in areas as diverse as executive policy, legislative debates and regulatory issues. She also leads outreach to multistate policy organizations such as the National Governors Association (NGA), the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).

Her rich experience in policy and politics includes serving as Policy Director for the Attorney General of Ohio, MIke DeWine, being Director of State Government Affairs for the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), and serving as Director of State Government Affairs at the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO).

A native of Ohio, Kristin graduated from Ohio University in 2007, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Geography. She achieved her Master of Arts degree in Political Science (American Politics) in 2008.
