Kristen’s journey has been one of: overcoming the odds; maintaining her faith and trust in the midst of great pain and suffering; and never giving in to a victim mentality.  Through the Grace of God, she was introduced to Christ through her family at age 8; she was saved at age 15 at a Christian Ranch in AZ.  Her deep faith has provided the foundation for her to endure her greatest adversity, that of being abducted and forcefully taken into human trafficking.

Kristen has achieved success in the face of being told she would be nothing better than a transaction, and that the only one that would love her was her perpetrator.  She overcame the odds time and again and continues to this day as she is following God’s calling to now share her story publicly.

In spite of the odds, Kristen has achieved academic and professional success by graduating with honors from the University of Wyoming;  and moving into a professional career serving as Auditor for Fortune 50 company, Controller, CFO, Consultant, VP operations, EVP, Radio & Media Host, Board Member of numerous organizations, entrepreneur, and now co-founder and President of the World Alliance for the Volunteer Economy.

Her greatest success is that of helping people wherever she is called; personally and professionally.  Kristen often quotes that it’s only been through great pain that she knows great joy and able to give great love.

It’s taken a journey spanning decades to finally share her story but now is following God’s calling having been revealed in the most unexpected places over the past few years, initiated by a chance encounter with a pastor in Chicago.

Combining her experience in the business world, matched with her great love for God, for networking and connecting others, it is her hope and mission to assist others in finding their voice, path, and achieving life success.  Kristen’s motto is to never give up, and always yield to God’s calling.
