Kristen came back to the Western community in December of 2021. Most recently, she worked as an Advocate at UC Santa Barbara, and before that, served as the first Violence Prevention and Response Coordinator at Central Washington University. Kristen enjoys serving students directly and helping them through their healing journeys, but also finds that it\u2019s important to make systemic changes to improve services and processes for all people, so she works closely with Student Conduct, Title IX, and Public Safety. In her free time, Kristen enjoys taking care of her houseplants, hanging out with her cat Sally, paddle-boarding, and going to the beach!<\/p>\n
