Brief Biography

Kristin is a teacher and a writer. She teaches part-time at Mount Saint Vincent University - in both the Faculty of Education and the English Department. She has a BA in Linguistics (Cornell University), an MSc in Education (Syracuse University) and an MAEd in Literacy Education (MSVU) with twenty-seven years' experience teaching in the public schools. Her fourth book for children was published in 2010. Kristin writes for adults and children. Her work has appeared in Saltscapes and Cricket magazines and she has contributed to textbook teacher guides.

Kristin's writing is anchored by a sense of place. She grew up in the heart of Detroit, became a high school exchange student to Embu, Kenya, and worked as a rural volunteer in Madhya Pradesh, India. Kristin taught English as a second language in Syracuse, NY and language arts in a bilingual school on the south side of Chicago. With roots in Lunenburg County tracing back generations, Kristin moved to Nova Scotia in 1992. She teaches, writes, and plays the bassoon from her home in Cow Bay.
