Sacrifice and work ethic were two traits Kristina learned from her parents, and she put those traits into action throughout her college and law school careers. She worked at Wendy's and Busch's grocery store while attending Eastern Michigan University, and during law school, she worked for Prosecutor Bill Vallencourt and studied international law abroad in Italy and France. Throughout her education and early career, however, Kristina remained steadfast in her desire to serve her community.
Kristina considered a career as a corporate attorney, but after spending time in small local firms and the Livingston County Prosecutor's office, she found she enjoyed helping people achieve a better life than they did before. Although she does not have children of her own, she felt God called her to help the children right here in her district. This led her to opening her own practice in East Lansing where she has defended children, teenagers, and adults, many of whom needed a second chance at life.Hold China Accountable
