Kristen is the MDF Support Group Facilitator for the state of Florida. After noticing she had similar symptoms to family members who had recently been diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy, Kristen tested positive for DM1 in 2016. In 2020, Kristen moved to Florida with her husband and virtually attended her 2nd MDF Annual Conference, where she was inspired to volunteer to become a support facilitator. In addition to the Florida support group, Kristen also co-hosts a weekly zoom happy hour for DM warriors, who lovingly refer to Kristen as “The Recruiter.” Kristen truly has a passion for helping people and is always willing to support others, especially those living with DM in anyway she can. Her motto is, «Tough times don’t last, tough people do.»
