She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management from Bay Path University and has earned her Senior Professional Human Resource (SPHR) certification.
At UMassFive Kris will oversee all employee hiring, training, recognition, and diversity program efforts. “I feel so fortunate to work alongside such an amazing group of professionals who are truly dedicated to making a difference for our members and community.
