At St. Mary's University, Kristine focused on developing research and writing skills, primarily in her psychology courses. She has presented at several conferences and participated in numerous competitions that simulate actual organizations, including the Organization of American States and the Arab League. Kristine's education has equipped her with the skills to work under tight deadlines while producing quality material.
Health topics Kristine writes about primarily concern children's mental health, general mental health, children's nutrition, public health concerns, and preventative efforts during disease outbreaks. While much of Kristine's writing on health is data-driven, she also focuses on qualitative writing to provide readers with an engaging narrative that will raise their interest on pressing health matters.
Studying international relations in college, Kristine is excited to work on projects concerning both global and local politics. In the past, she has written on trade liberalization in China and the implications of eugenics. Kristine has also created materials to educate the community about advocating for certain issues and becoming involved in the political process.
Working in a nonprofit organization, Kristine has written numerous white papers on a variety of issues, including children's mental health, child abuse and neglect, and early childcare and education. She has also written briefs on children's safety and nutrition. Additionally, Kristine has prepared informative materials on ways individuals in the community may effectively advocate for issues they find important.
Working with nonprofits for several years, Kristine has extensive experience creating newsletters and reaching out to groups interested in a certain cause. Many of the newsletters she creates are geared towards fundraising, awareness of local issues, and inviting people in the community to attend events aimed to promote and support the nonprofit or business she writes for.
Kristine has successfully blogged for two years, covering a wide range of topics including psychology, tutorials on arts and crafts, and reviews of local restaurants and books by independent authors. Kristine also writes creatively, featuring poetry, short stories, and creative nonfiction. Photography is also featured on the blog, with narratives attached to each image presented.
