Kristin Austin, Ed.D.
I offer 20 years of experience in higher education settings in roles focusing on access, inclusion, and amplifying historically excluded groups. As a former faculty member turned non-profit DEI director for a women-in-tech advocacy organization, I excel in smoothly moving audiences through tough, but necessary learning and unlearning processes. I'm also widely energetic and naturally caffeinated.
