As a right-brain person who avoided business training of any kind in college, Kristine never imagined she would spend more than fifteen years working with nonprofit leaders to use finance to achieve their mission. In her role as a senior consultant on NFF’s Advisory Services team, Kristine coaches organizational leaders to build their confidence and skills in financial management in service of communities. From her previous experience working with a small, AmeriCorps program in Philadelphia, Kristine understands the reality of nonprofit leaders wearing many different hats – from training volunteers and stuffing annual appeal letters, to writing grant proposal, to setting up and breaking down special event venues. In addition to consulting one-on-one and leading group trainings on finance, Kristine contributes to thought leadership in the sector, including authorship of NFF’s 2015 report, “Overcoming Financial Barriers to Expanding High-Quality Early Care & Education.” Kristine previously served as a business planning consultant to Washington DC nonprofits seeking to launch earned income ventures, Communications Director of City Year Philadelphia, and Volunteer Coordinator for a congressional campaign in Bethesda, MD. She holds a Master of Business Administration from George Washington University, a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional Certificate from Fiscal Management Associates.
Outside of work, you can find Kristine line-dancing, practicing mindful breathing with her two school-aged daughters, or preparing her Glenside garden for summer vegetables and 14-foot sunflowers.
