Kristy loves spending her free time immersed in Maine’s great outdoors, exploring everything the Pine Tree State has to offer. Whether she’s hiking scenic trails, camping under the stars, off-road ATVing, or fishing alongside her loyal dog Moxie, she’s happiest in nature. In the summer, you’ll often find her wandering Mount Blue State Park, while winter draws her to the slopes of Sunday River and Saddleback Mountain. And when she’s not adventuring, she’s often curled up with a good book about Maine’s rich history.

Kristy brings warmth, skill, and a deep commitment to helping every young reader grow with confidence.
