Long before law school, Kristi advocated for children and families both in the court system and in the community. She advocated for abused and neglected children as a volunteer and as a foster parent. Her work as a volunteer coordinator for homeless families with children gave her insight into the challenges faced by families in Dane County in finding basic resources and gave her a profound respect for parents working to meet their children’s needs in the midst of chaos. She seeks to be a fair, compassionate, and zealous voice for her clients.
