Kristina began her career at Studio West in the summer of 2012 working part time at the front desk. Her role has evolved over the years, as she took on more extensive responsibilities as the Assistant Studio Manager. After the birth of her third child in the winter of 2015, Studio West gave her the opportunity to continue working the hours she could manage; she now works mainly in the back office on bookkeeping and other administrative duties. Kristina does not have a dance background, but grew up with Ms. Stephanie and truly loves being a part of the Studio West community. She graduated from St. Martin’s University with her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Finance. She currently resides in Olympia with her husband and four beautiful children.
