Kristen has been working with the Development team since 2018. She is passionate about building community and philanthropic partnerships to help individuals and organizations maximize their impact. Her career has spanned a variety of areas in higher education and nonprofit work including undergraduate and graduate admissions, international marketing and recruitment, orientation and service-learning.  She loves working with University Advancement to keep alumni and friends of JMU engaged and connected to philanthropic opportunities that help open doors for students and faculty that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. 

Kristen is originally from the Philadelphia area and is now regionally based outside of Philly keeping JMU alumni, family and friends connected to campus. Outside of work Kristen enjoys planning her next road trip or international adventure, biking, live music and stories with family and friends over a good glass of wine.
