About Kristina

My writing journey launched early—when I was in kindergarten. That passion fueled me from Cleveland to Chicago to Washington, D.C., where I worked as a journalist covering education and energy policy.

Though I started following Jesus in grade school, it wasn't until I became a mom that I delved deeper into my faith. It redirected my path and my purpose.

After experiencing a traumatic birth and mild postpartum depression, I wrote a book about perinatal mental health. My goal was to help to shatter the silence around perinatal mood disorders and offer hope to new parents. My second book examines how only Jesus Christ offers redemption for life's inevitable losses and grief.

These days, I'm researching classical-Christian education and writing about it. My children have been fortunate to study CCE at both brick-and-mortar and online academies.
