Kristi graduated from Duke University with degrees in political science and French. Outside of studying, Kristi primarily spent time worshiping at her local church, running, climbing in the south of France, and becoming a master microwave chef.

Kristi became an avid podcast listener during her summers at the Charlotte Observer and the Los Angeles Times. Her favorite memories since becoming a host of the Two Coins Podcast include hearing the final product of Morris Kaberia’s episode, interviewing Brian Fikkert, and laughing with the Two Coins team during their recording retreat in May 2022.
