Originally from Towson, MD, Kristina loves playing the ukulele and singing, and from a very young age, was drawn to music and its effect on her creative and imaginative self. Kristina says, “I found that early exposure to music advanced my abilities in learning to read and increased my phonemic awareness as a child. Music is one of the many joys in life and I am so excited to be sharing in that joy with you. It is truly a pleasure to be part of the St. Benedict Classical Academy as the Music Teacher and I am eager to see how Christ works through each of us together!” Kristina has her Music Education degree in K-12 Music from the University of Hartford, and a Certificate in Youth & Young Adult Ministry and Leadership from the Hellenic College Holy Cross in Brookline, MA.
