Kristin was born and raised in northern California, where she attended the University of California, Berkeley, first as an undergraduate and then—after spending three years in Japan—as a graduate student. She earned her PhD in 2010 and joined the English department in 2011. Her scholarly interests lie primarily with twentieth-century American literature, especially the famously impenetrable writer William Faulkner. One of her favorite things about Lewis & Clark is working closely with students at all stages in their college experience. She regularly teaches in the first-year seminar program, and also enjoys teaching the English department’s introductory survey of American literature, upper-level courses on American Modernism and African American literature, and the Senior Seminar for majors. When she’s not working, Kristin loves to get outdoors with her family.
