Submitted by jcoe on

Kristin currently serves in both the Program Dir. and Exec. Director roles for Cancer Support Community Massachusetts—an identified area for Strategic Growth for CSC as an organization. As a PD she oversees the clinical staff and programming for the Mass network partner and in her ED role she is additionally responsible for fundraising, outreach, networking and growth of the organization.

Kristin is a Maryland native who earned her MSW degree from The University of Maryland School of Social Work. While still in graduate school Kristin was inspired to develop her clinical skills to serve patients in the medical setting.  When she was awarded a post graduate fellowship in Palliative Care at Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital, she felt right at home working directly with cancer patients and their caregivers.  Over the past 20 + years, Kristin has discovered that working with oncology, hospice, palliative care and medically fragile patients is the most rewarding of all her clinical work.  

Outside of her professional endeavors, Kristin volunteers her time as a board member for Young Life, a non-profit benefiting middle and high school students’ well-being.  Kristin also enjoys traveling and DIY.  She is most happy dreaming up projects, bringing them to life and then posting the results on Instagram.
