Growing up in the small town of Collegeville, PA, Kristin spent most of her time dancing and playing field hockey. A foodie at heart, she worked in the restaurant industry throughout high school as a waitress. When it was time to attend college, she followed her passion and attended East Stroudsburg University, graduating with Bachelors Degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management. After college Kristin landed various internships, leading her to secure a management position at a well known restaurant in the area. While the hospitality industry will always have her heart, she realized that the lifestyle and extensive hours were not conducive to a balanced living. Unsure of where to go next, she applied to various marketing positions, soon accepting a job at an advertising and marketing firm in King of Prussia. She learned the ins and outs of how to effectively run a business, leadership skills and team development; things she excelled at. After 3 successful years at the firm, she was asked to join the team of a recently launched company in the energy industry. Kristin quickly moved from National Account Manager to Director of Commercial Sales. She led the sales team, created partnerships for the company, and helped develop the department. The ever-evolving energy industry brought challenging yet rewarding experiences to each week. Knowing the value of her experience in the industry, she left and co-found Energetek.
