Kristin has been a part of the Arborjet team since November, 2014. She joined the company as a Product Marketing Manager, bringing with her 4 years of green industry brand support and development.  At Arborjet, Kristin’s focus began by building and expanding the company’s non-injectable product market. In Spring of 2016, Kristin was promoted to Marketing Manager, continuing her focus on the Horticulture Line, while collaborating with other product managers to oversee the Marketing Department.

Kristin’s passion for the industry began as a child, when she would help her father design and tend to their own landscape. As she got older, she got her first job working at a garden center, and found herself constantly bringing home a variety of plants to cultivate in her own garden. Later, Kristin attended Salve Regina University, where she received her BA in Studio Art. In this role, Kristin oversees and manages all messaging, branding, advertising, strategy, and development of new and existing horticulture products. She supports the needs of the national sales team, and manages Arborjet’s horticulture website (TheDirtOnDirt.com) Kristin is also a content contributor as well as a member of The Dirt on Dirt community.
