Kristi enjoys paddleboarding, snowboarding, and hiking with her son and her Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Stella.

Kristi's strength shines through not just in her career but also in her health journey.

Despite controlling her breast cancer, she was diagnosed with brain cancer in the Fall of 2022. She underwent radiation in the Spring of 2023 and continues chemotherapy to prevent further spread.

Despite these challenges, Kristi finds joy in sharing her journey. She has spoken on behalf of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Real Men Wear Pink of Central Oregon, and the American Cancer Society, all of which support cancer patients and survivors.
