Kristin joined The Alexandria Singers in January 2024 as an Alto, returning to her love of choral music from her high school and college glee club days. In October 2024, she became Executive Director, combining her nonprofit experience with her passion for community arts and music accessibility. Throughout her career, Kristin has been committed to building inclusive, diverse communities and expanding access to meaningful opportunities for connection, creativity, and engagement.

Kristin is committed to growing the Singers’ reach, deepening our connection to the community, and helping ensure the group’s next 50 years are as vibrant as the first.
