Kristi grew up in a rural farming community in northeast Missouri and went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Missouri – Kansas City. Her favorite subject in school was anything focusing on God’s creation. When Kristi isn’t working with supporters to provide students with scholarships, she enjoys reading and spending time at the lake. Kristi lives in Kansas City with her husband and daughter and loves that her son and daughter-in-law live close by too.
