My story
It's been in my name the whole time.
My parents waited four days to name me. They chose Kristin Joy.
I began by teaching English at picnic tables to migrant workers who had picked apples all day, and to immigrants and refugees creating a new home in the United States. Many had been teachers and doctors back home, and still their joy was infectious. That's where I learned that joy is never gone. It's only covered.
Years later, at the peak of my career, I burned out completely and rebuilt my life from the inside out. In January 2025, the work I'd built my career on disappeared in a single week. I didn't choose the pivot. I chose what to build next.
