Kristina graduated summa cum laude from Georgia Southern University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She went on to earn her Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia in 2016.
From an early age, Kristina recognized her passion for serving others. Growing up in a small town, she witnessed the profound impact of Substance Use Disorder on individuals, families, and communities, inspiring her commitment to helping those affected by addiction.
During her graduate internship with the Athens Day Reporting Center, Kristina was introduced to ARC, where she quickly connected with the organization’s mission and approach to recovery. She believes ARC offers a truly unique model of care by providing more than sober living—it creates a supportive home environment that combines structure, education, accountability, and evidence-informed interventions to address addiction as the chronic disease it is.
Today, Kristina is proud to be a member of the ARC team, where she is dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey toward lasting recovery and helping them build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
