Kris is an adult with albinism who only discovered NOAH in 2010 at age 52. At that point she jumped in to become part of the organization that she wished she known about many years earlier. Kris immediately became a staff writer for Albinism InSight and has attended the national conferences since 2012.
By profession, Kris is a professor of music at the community college level. For nearly thirty years she has taught music theory and composition to prospective music majors. Working in education has afforded Kris the opportunity to be surrounded constantly by innovative thinkers, an environment in which people are looking for new ways to create, educate and disseminate knowledge. Kris has designed and developed curricula, served on numerous on-campus panels working to benefit both staff and students, and is described by her students as both knowledgeable and compassionate. Kris lives with her husband and menagerie of animals. She has two adult daughters and two elementary school-aged grandsons.
Outside of the classroom, Kris enjoys playing the classical guitar, knitting, writing, photography, reading, making art, and travel.
