Kristen joined CURE Childhood Cancer in 2021 as Development Manager, Events and Initiatives. With a background spanning special events planning, hospitality management, sales, and account management, she brings more than 15+ years of experience in business development and event planning across the Atlanta area. In her role, Kristen leads CURE’s signature fundraising events: Lauren’s Run & Picnic, Cocktails & CURE, and Ring the Bell — while also managing the Young Professional Leadership Council, coordinating Childhood Cancer Awareness Month programs in September, and supporting third-party events that benefit the organization.
Kristen is deeply passionate about CURE’s mission and feels honored to be part of an organization making such a meaningful impact. Her goal is to build genuine connections with families and supporters and create memorable events that drive real funding toward CURE’s work.
“I’ve never felt more purpose in my career than I do here, knowing that every dollar we raise gets a child closer to a cure.”
Kristen lives in Marietta with her husband, Jake, and their two rescue dogs, Frank and Fiona.
