Engagement

As Engagement Strategist, Kristin spearheads the integration of engagement and editorial processes to maximize the reach of our reporting and its positive community impact.

She builds pathways for Illinois citizens and organizations to participate in the editorial process through events, educational initiatives, community partnerships, and everyday conversations. From her perspective, there are no greater experts on the issues of Illinois than the state’s diverse, industrious, and passionate citizens.
