While in high school, Kristina was a member of the National Honor Society and varsity debate team, along with being involved in the school's competition show choir and theater program.

Following her college graduation, she plans to work as a reporter and/or anchor for a local news station anywhere around the country, which will hopefully allow her to travel and engage with different communities.
