From preparing barracks for returning troops and planning events, to serving on the Family Readiness Team as the only NCO spouse among Staff NCOs and Officers’ spouses. She believes that service, not rank, defines leadership.
Through The 3D CEB Foundation, Kristina creates spaces where veterans feel seen, supported, and reconnected, knowing that meaningful connection is a powerful protective factor.
