Kristen Kendall
PROGRAM SPECIALIST
Kristen is currently a Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) AmeriCorps Member and Program Specialist at REV.
Born and raised in the farmlands of south-central Pennsylvania, she has a deep appreciation for rural communities. After years of living in the metro Seattle, Washington DC, and Los Angeles areas, Kristen is excited to return to the Pacific Northwest to serve with AmeriCorps in Northeast Oregon - a place that feels like home.
Kristen holds a Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Arts from The Pennsylvania State University and a Certificate in Project Management from Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies. Her extensive experience in operational roles across philanthropy, management consulting, nonprofit associations, and higher education enables her to quickly identify organizational and project pain points and adapt solutions for complex, changing environments.
A firm believer in the power of listening, Kristen is passionate about supporting others in achieving their goals, a mission she is eager to advance through her work at REV on childcare and housing initiatives. Outside of work, she can be found hiking, camping, and enjoying the unparalleled natural beauty of the West.
