Panelist
Dr. Kristina is passionate about ensuring people understand their reason for living and the "why" behind their God-given gifts for activating a life of purpose and destiny.
Kristina's life passion is to help people walk fully into their purpose, so their gifts and talents can bring healing to themselves and others. Kristina is an inspirational speaker, bestselling author, educator, ordained minister, wife to her wonderful husband, Eddie, and mother to her three beautiful children, Kiersten, Kristopher, and Kaleb.
Kristina received a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and a doctorate in Educational Leadership at Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. Kristina loves life and enjoys encouraging others and helping them overcome any fears, doubts, or the "cant's" and "no's" from the past, present, or future that have hindered their purpose and destiny.
Kristina began researching purpose shortly after her daughter, Kiersten, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She was heartbroken, lost, and confused, but able to find hope through educating others on special needs and not allowing circumstances to deter the greatness waiting to be released from within her. Through a great support system of family and friends, Kristina was able to claim her ultimate purpose. Now, her life's purpose is to do the same for others. She defines purpose as why we were created and encourages people from all walks of life to tap into this great gift, utilize it for themselves, and, most importantly, help others.
Kristina now speaks to others about purpose and learning the power of positive thinking in difficult situations. She plans to continue to encourage people worldwide through her books and speaking platform to build a worldwide support group for those fighting to reach their ultimate purpose in life.
