“ I believe women have an incredible gift to bring people together, with purpose, conviction, and empathy, just as God designed. In a world that often prizes individualism, women are the heart that unites families, communities, and societies. Endow inspires women to embrace their God-given dignity, live fully in ‘being’ rather than ‘doing,’ and share the best of who they are with a world that needs them. I’m thrilled to walk alongside women everywhere as we discover these timeless truths together.”
As a lifelong learner, wife, and mom of four, Kristine loves diving into big ideas and meaningful conversations. Her curiosity led her from a successful career in finance and strategic communications to earning a master’s in theology and leadership from Gonzaga University, and ultimately to Endow. Now, as Director of Programs, she’s passionate about creating spaces where women can connect, grow in faith, and experience the beauty of Catholic teaching together. Whether through small-group studies or new initiatives, Kristine is excited to help women embrace their natural gifts and share their unique genius with the world.
