“Kris is wise, creative and compassionate. She has an exceptional ability to fine tune a teacher’s practice, as she knows where students are coming from and can draw from her own experience as a teacher. She is direct and kind. Every colleague I have had has become better because of her. She has helped me shift my own teaching practice towards focusing on what matters most to students and what is most effective for them so they can learn. I owe her a great deal.”

“Kris is such a gifted writer. I learn and grow through her repertoire of work including essays, story writing, clear detailed accounts of people’s performance and talents, and so much more. What a joy!”

“Kris’s writing is subtle and lyrical, swooping in to reveal surprising detail and insights whether exploring climate change, the sport of biathlon, marriage, or her own extraordinary childhood.”
