Kristen joined Compass Wealth Management as a Client Service Associate in early 2025, bringing with her over five years of experience in client service, project management, and community development.

Kristen’s interest in financial planning began during college while earning her Bachelor of Science in Business Management at Tennessee Wesleyan University. Over the years, her passion developed through her previous roles in grant writing, business development, and public administration, where financial planning was a consistent thread. She is in the process of pursuing her Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) designation to provide the highest standard of financial planning expertise to our clients.

Outside of her career, Kristen is an avid outdoorswoman. She enjoys fishing in North Georgia’s rivers, photographing wildlife, and hiking with her German Wirehaired Pointer, Hazel. She is passionate about conservation and volunteers with organizations such as Trout Unlimited and the National Wild Turkey Federation. Kristen draws inspiration from living in harmony with the seasons and strives to lead a purposeful, present lifestyle.
