Kristen is a 2011 graduate from Purdue University with a degree in Hospitality Management. She is the property manager of ELEVEN THIRTY located in Chicago but spends her weekends in Indiana with her fiancé and two hound dogs. Kristen’s first career choice was a marine biologist – but decided to just SCUBA dive whenever she could instead. Kristen has been in the industry for over 7 years and is the recipient of three industry awards. When not working, Kristen and her fiancé travel around the world to places like Panama, Guatemala and next up – the honeymoon. Kristen’s role model is Lucille Ball because she is the exemplary example of a woman becoming vastly successful in an otherwise male-dominated industry.
