was born in San Antonio but spent her childhood in the heart of the Hill Country. Growing up in rural Texas taught her to appreciate the “little things” in life, find beauty in nature, and nurtured her sense of adventure. She moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas at Austin where she studied Public Relations and Mexican American Policy Studies with a focus on the intersection of race and health policy. Kristen fell in love with Texas politics and policy-making during the 83rd Legislative Session. Following her passions, she left the Capitol to work at the Health and Human Services Commission within the Women’s Health and Education Services Division. Kristen hopes to continue to dedicate her life to public service and do her part to create a more equitable and just future for all Texans.
