Kristen's passion for marketing & communication started in high school when she took a marketing & communication class. After that, she was hooked! Kristen attended California University of PA and received her Bachelor of Arts in Communication. She started her career managing events & marketing for a Marriott hotel. "I planned a 1-year-old birthday party, and just watching the joy on his face and everyone's face and thinking I helped make this happen, it brings you a sense of accomplishment and joy," Kristen says. Kristen received her Master of Science in Integrated Marketing & Communications from West Virginia University. She received her real estate license while working for Berkshire Hathaway The Preferred Realty in their Marketing department. However, after five years, Kristen was ready for a new adventure. Kristen is now the Field Marketing Specialist for Coldwell Banker Realty in the Pittsburgh Region. When Kristen is not in marketing mode, she is most likely planning a trip, hanging out with friends, or spoiling her nieces & nephews.
