From Philadelphia,PA, the acting bug bit Kristen at a young age, perhaps because her father was the founder/conductor of the Pennsy Pops Orchestra, and her mother was a singer/songwriter nominated for a Grammy, her love for performing is naturally inherent in Kristen’s blood. Kristen holds a BFA in acting from West Virginia University, and has extensive training in various styles of theatre and performance, ranging from Shakespeare, Comedia Del’Arte, Anne Bogart, Suzuki, Comedy Improv, and Musical Theatre. A graduate of the United Stuntman’s Association, Kristen is a certified actor combatant in many edged weapons with the Society of American Fight Directors as well. Although an actress able to perform her own stunts including her own fight scenes for many productions, she also possesses a plethora of comedic talents!
