Kristen R. Heptinstall

Digital Project Manager, Social media strategist, and Journalist in Clermont, Florida

Work:

As of September 2016, I'm on the market! I've spent the past 3 years working in digital marketing and agency project management roles, but now I'm looking to return to my roots in journalism and digital media.

Aside from my full-time work, I serve as a marketing consultant and freelance writer. I'm also a proud University of Alabama journalism graduate. Roll Tide.

Family:

Above all, I cherish the companionship of my Disney chef husband, Brian, and our chocolate Labrador Retriever, Mango. And who knows, we may expand our family in the next couple of years!

I'm a proud auntie to two nephews. Family is important to me, especially as we continue to grieve the loss of my father, who we lost to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, a devastating lung complication, in January 2014.

Fun:

For fun, I enjoy sweating it out in the gym or in yoga class, reading a great book, searching far and wide for the best burger in the world, and visiting Disney's theme parks.

I'm also active with my sorority, Gamma Phi Beta, having served as an alumnae volunteer overseeing collegiate and alumnae chapters alike. I also volunteer with Houndhaven, Inc., a local retriever-focused dog rescue, and with my church, Real Life Christian Church, in Clermont, Fla.

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." -Walt Disney
