Born in Portland, Oregon, Kristin is a true Oregonian with a passion for giving back to our communities through many charity partners. With over 17 years’ experience in planning and executing a variety of non-profit events, Kristin knows what it means to give back. She founded and co-owns Event Savvy, a woman owned non-profit event planning company. One of her greatest accomplishments has been partnering with over 100 organizations over the last 10 years to help raise Millions for charities helping to improve lives in our community.

In 2021, just to make sure she keeps growing and learning, she had the honor of taking over as Executive Director of the Oregon Cancer Ski Out! Not only does she partner with other non-profits to reach their goals, but she also helped run a local organization in the fight against Cancer.

Her real joy in life is her family and friends she has been blessed with. She is married to an amazing partner, Jason and they have two amazing boys, Braden 23, and Connor 18. Having two sons has kept her on her toes over the years and been the greatest gift you could ask for. While giving back feeds her soul, travel and spending time with her family and friends is what keeps her grounded and sane!

Those two boys are part of the reason she was honored to join the board of the Parker Bounds Johnson Foundation. Watching how Dan and Liz have taken their grief and passion for helping others and turned it into an amazing organization to help youth, hits home for her. The mission and goals of this organization are making a direct positive impact for many of our youth. The passion and programs to save lives is compelling and it takes a team to share this mission. Kristin is ready to be part of the team and make a positive impact on our youth.
