About Cristin
Cristin has 20+ years of professional experience and a complementary range of expertise in health and housing.

Cristin is passionate about helping students synthesize their professional experiences and integrate their areas of expertise to develop effective interventions and expand the profession’s reach into nontraditional sectors.
