Kris currently serves as the Director of Spiritual Care for Danbury and New Milford Hospitals in Western Connecticut, where she oversees a team of chaplains and integrative medicine practitioners. She works closely with the local community clergy, priests, and volunteers to provide for the spiritual and sacramental needs of patients and their loved ones. In addition to the daily work of chaplaincy, Kris spearheads a peer support program for practitioners experiencing difficult cases or outcomes and co-leads an annual community health day event for the under-resourced and underserved. 

Her favorite work, however, is being able to minister to others in the midst of crisis and critical need and being God’s heart, hands, and feet to go anbe where He is needed most.

Prior to transitioning into chaplaincy, Kris worked for the American Cancer Society, The Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill, and is a former high school mathematics teacher in New York’s Hudson Valley, where she resides.

 She is an Auntie to her beloved E-town (her niece and two nephews) and is an aspiring cyclist and cardist.

Kris holds a Master of Divinity, is a Board Certified Chaplain, and will graduate from the Encounter School of Ministry in 2026.
