education for young people across Canada. In 2025, she expanded her leadership to CARAS, uniting her work across the organization to help build a more diverse, accessible, and thriving music community nationwide.

Prior to her work in music, Kristy spent over two decades with Maple Leaf Sports &
Entertainment, where she led community impact initiatives and revenue-driving service
strategies across the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, and Toronto FC. She played a key role in establishing The Leaf Fund, raising millions for children’s charities, and later oversaw one of North America’s most diverse premium ticketing portfolios, delivering industry-leading results across the NHL, NBA, and MLS.

Community Relations from Boston College. She is a proud mother of two boys who share her love of music and sport
