With her sassy and silly personality, there was never a question that Kristen would end up in Hollywood. A Midwesterner, Kristen hails from Kentucky and is a HUGE University of Kentucky basketball fan (on game nights, you can find her at whatever sports bar in Los Angeles is showing her Wildcats).
Hers is a true Hollywood story: the day after she signed with her first talent agent, she landed a recurring gig as one of the briefcase beauties on “Deal or No Deal”. From there, she began hosting a wide range of entertainment programs. Kristen has been hosting the digital version of Hollywood Today LIVE since 2013 and has been hosting the online and television versions of HTL ever since. Kristen is obsessed with sharks and true crime shows and spends most of her Friday nights watching Dateline. If you blink, you’ll miss her sitting next to Ben Affleck on a plane in the Oscar-winning movie Argo. She’s a tireless advocate for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as her younger sister suffers from the life-threatening lung and digestive disease. Kristen says it’s her mission to help find a cure for CF.
