Kristen has her bachelor of science in nursing and has worked at Mayo Clinic in oncology and the pediatric intensive care unit.  She earned her masters in science as a family nurse practitioner, where she continued her care of patients with cancer.  When they moved to Michigan, she continued working as a Nurse Practitioner at University of Michigan's Cancer Center.  In 2014, her job took an unexpected turn when she left clinical practice and worked as a clinical nurse educator for a pharmaceutical company.  

 

After different jobs within the company, she is now working as a director for sales strategy, communications, and innovation.  She loves her job now: all day she takes complex ideas and figures out how to make them come to life and create communications about them. Not only has she found a passion, the experience has been so helpful as she and Aaron launched Haven Homes of Detroit. She continued to volunteer as a Nurse Practitioner until COVID at a Detroit clinic for uninsured women.
