While with BIDMC, Kristy also led the project management on implementation and reporting for significant ($10M+) gifts to ensure all deliverables were produced on time and aligned with donor expectations.

Before that, Kristy consulted with WilmerHale and spearheaded a firm-wide project to transition all shared drive content into a document management system (Worksite) and served as the Director of Public Affairs and Field Services for the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (MOVA), managing MOVA’s victim services provision, legislative affairs work, training offerings, and victim service provider and survivor outreach.
