As a youth, she enjoyed performing in multiple school ensembles including chamber ensembles and Strolling Strings. She attended Eastern Washington University and studied Violin with Kelly Farris while performing in the EWU Symphony Orchestra and Gonzaga University Symphony. Kristina transferred back home to finish her Bachelor of Arts in Music at Western Washington University, studying Violin with Walter Schwede and continuing to perform in Symphony, Chamber, and New Music Ensembles. Kristina was a member of the Whatcom (now Bellingham) Symphony Orchestra from 2007 until 2019.
Kristina taught in Bellingham from 2003 until 2019 when she moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where she teaches at the prestigious Gifted Music School and in private studio. Kris’ joyful playing perfectly matches her V. Richelieu viola that serves as her primary instrument. As an Artist Representative of the V. Richelieu line of instruments, she is frequently travelling through the western United States to promote her favorite instrument. She is a registered and active teacher with the Suzuki Association of the Americas.
