Kristin’s Disclosures
Kristin grew up wanting to be a professional ballerina or a Stock Broker. She became very interested in investing through her father. She developed her portfolio of stocks and enjoyed reading the wall street journal.
In her free time, she stays active through running, Pilates, cross-country skiing, and swimming, while gardening helps her unwind.
“I believe success is built on trust, integrity, and long-term relationships — exactly the kind of client-first approach that Bland prioritizes. What truly aligns me with Bland is the focus on partnership. I see every client relationship as an opportunity to listen, collaborate, and grow together. That kind of purpose-driven, values-based service is what motivates me every day — and it’s why I see strong alignment with Bland’s mission and culture.”
