Hi, I’m Kristina.
I believe the stories we tell shape the world we live in.
As the granddaughter of immigrants, raised between working-class roots and a global perspective, I grew up attuned to the complexity of identity and belonging. That early awareness continues to shape how I approach narrative — with care, nuance, and respect for lived experience.
My work is grounded in oral history training, close listening, and a commitment to meaning over surface-level storytelling. I am interested in structure, meaning, and the deeper through-line that connects experience to impact.
Honed through years of editorial work — including my time with The New York Times — my approach blends journalistic rigor with creative intuition.
