With a background as a performer and arts manager, Kristin has over twenty-five years experience in the arts and cultural sector in both Canada and the UK.
Built on a foundation of strong sector engagement that enables students to start building their own professional networks, Kristin creates courses that bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practice-based experience.
