We asked all of our new staff members several “getting to know you” questions; we hope you enjoy learning a bit more about Kristi!

What is something people might be surprised to find out about you?
I lived in Southern California for five years and learned how to surf.

What is the first job you ever had?
I was the office assistant at Steeb Hall, my dorm at Ohio State.

What is your favorite family tradition?
We go to Lakeside on Lake Erie every summer. I went there when I was younger, and now love sharing it with friends and family. If you know, you know about Lakeside and why it’s so special.

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?
My mom makes a fabulous lasagna that I have yet to replicate.

Who was your favorite teacher in school, and why?
Ms. Polinko, my 10th grade English Teacher. She instructed, guided, and made you feel seen.

If you could quickly and easily learn any new skill, what would it be?
I would love to perfect my pickleball game.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
Your biggest fear is also your biggest opportunity for growth. Don’t be afraid to lean in. Something wonderful could be on the other side.

Jeremiah 29:11
