A lifelong University of Virginia and Washington, D.C. sports superfan, when Kristin is not working, she enjoys cheering on (and commiserating with) her favorite teams, riding her Peloton, and spending time with her family. 

While attending law school at the University of North Carolina, Kristin realized that she is truly a Virginian at heart.  Born and raised in Stafford, Virginia, she has witnessed the Fredericksburg area transform from a sleepy city to the thriving community it is today.
