Kierstin has called the Lehigh Valley home since 2003. She has raised her children here, and has been part of multiple volunteer organizations throughout the years such as; Junior Achievement, Fresh Air Fund and CASA, to name a few. Kierstin has a unique and diversified background, having started her career in the arts as a young adult, being an entrepreneur when her children were growing up and now in the helping profession as her children set out on their own adventures. Kierstin enjoys the outdoors, animals, the arts, and empowering others to find the strength that lies within themselves.

Kierstin received her Masters of Social work from the University of New England, and her Doctorate of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and works as a clinician and Chief Operations Officer for a private practice in Allentown. Kierstin is an Adjunct Professor at Marywood University in the School of Social Work.

When Kierstin is not teaching or helping others, you can find her playing with her pups, making art, kayaking in a local lake or getting muddy in her beloved JEEP!
