Kristin, 28, has been working at Howard Brown as a physician’s assistant for the past four years, and am committed to working for and with the LGBT community. Kristin is also involved in Camp Dreamcatcher—a camp in Pennsylvania for children affected/infected with HIV/AIDS—and is a mentor for Mercy Home through the Evans Scholar Foundation.

To Kristin, her dedication to medicine and providing quality healthcare to the Chicago LGBT community is one of the most important parts of her life. She started out as a medical assistant in the small town of Visalia, Calif., and couldn’t be happier to be in Chicago. She would like to eventually see a decline in HIV/AIDS infection; more of our community accessing quality healthcare; and LGBT folks raising healthy, happy, well-adjusted children.
