Kristen Mallette
New York, New York
I'm a down to Earth, street smart, free spirit.
I'm from Colorado and Los Angeles,
Montana, and the Virgin Islands,
residing in NYC for the last seven years.
I've got an eye out for the underdog.
I stand up for others in a heartbeat.
I am an artist, expert snowboarder, cyclist, and yogi.
I love to build things in the garage, throw pottery, saughter jewelry, and make clothing.
I'm the life of the party and can bring fun to any pressing deadline or akward break-room party.
I got my start as an On-Air Host and Segment Producer for three user-generated pop culture shows--that I was also hosting--on the first internet television network, ManiaTV.com.
Over three years, I co-hosted and produced a LIVE Daily Morning Show called, "Wake The Hell Up", an Action Sports Show called, "Ten80", and a weekend music show called, "Clean Slate". We were among the first to create premium branded entertainment online for brands like AT&T, Nikon, and Jeep, among others.
When I first moved to New York, I worked briefly with Vice Magazine's creative agency, Virtue, as a Junior Producer, rebranding the Winter Dew tour for AlliSports.com and MTV. I was content manager for the website AlliSports.com throughout the competition series.
Before I was a "WebTV VJ", junior producer, or a New York based actress, I was living between Breckenridge, Colorado and The Virgin Islands--snowboarding and swimming--I shot my first commercial in St. Thomas, had art shows, hosted a weekend radio show for Krystal93FM KYSL in Vail, and volunteered with the Snowboard Outreach Society, teaching inner city kids how to snowboard.
I'm a lifelong student of the Arts. I currently train as an actor in an ongoing Committed Impulse Master Class in New York City with Actor/Director, Josh Pais. I have a BFA in Photography and Multimedia / Theater Minor, from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
The New York Times announced my solo show at The Peoples Improv Theater last month! WINGWALKER RUNAWAY, a show about my Wild West ancestors in do-or-die moments in history. I work as an actor in TV, film, commercial, and web sketches. Follow me on instagram for updates!
Favorite actresses: Gena Rowlands, Shellyl Long, Kristin Ritter, Lucille Ball, and Maggie Gyllanhall.
