Kristin is a renal or kidney doctor at the Royal Free Hospital in London. She has a multi-cultural background in that she is from Bangor, Co Down, just outside Belfast. Kristin went to school and university there, but then went to Southampton to work, and worked across the south coast for 4 years before getting her job to train as a specialist in London. Her mum is from Norway, hence the name, and she speaks fluent Norwegian.
Kristin loves mountain walking, skiing, especially cross/back country, mountain biking and all things outdoors. She looks forward most to being able to spend time at her parents cottage in the mountains in Norway. She also loves to relax, watching movies at the cinema, and generally chilling out and eating...probably too much!
Kristin is hoping to be confirmed at Easter this year, before heading out to Lourdes. She has wanted to come for years and is thrilled to finally get the time off that she needs. She has spent lots of time with childrens' groups in the past, and looks forward to spending time with the children and learning from them.
