HI, I’M KRISTINA! I GREW UP IN WESTON AND ATTENDED THE WAUSAU CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC FOR PIANO AND VOCAL FROM THE AGE OF 4 THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I AUDITIONED TO JOIN THE 484TH ARMY RESERVE BAND AS A PIANIST AND VOCALIST. DURING MY TIME WITH THE RESERVES, I LEARNED ABOUT PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS AND WAS BEST KNOWN FOR “MULTI-TASKING” DURING PERFORMANCES (PLAYING MULTIPLE AUXILIARY INSTRUMENTS AT ONCE). I SERVED FOR 21.5 YEARS AND RETIRED IN 2021 AS A SFC (E-7). I PLAYED PIANO, PERCUSSION AND SANG FOR THE ARMY RESERVES IN A VARIETY OF MUSICAL STYLES… ROCK, JAZZ, CONCERT, AND MARCHING BAND. CURRENTLY, I’M IN MY THIRD YEAR AS A PERFORMING MEMBER OF CENTERSTAGE (ADULT SHOW CHOIR) AND PLAY PIANO AND CANTOR FOR ST AGNES CHURCH. I ENJOY OUTDOORS ACTIVITIES LIKE HIKING, CAMPING, KAYAKING AND GARDENING WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY! I LOVE MAKING MUSIC AND CAN’T WAIT TO GO ON THIS MUSICAL JOURNEY WITH YOU!
