Kristen Howey Dimick lives near snowy Buffalo, New York, with her husband, Matt, and their fluffy dog, Oso. They’re new to the “empty nest” chapter of life and are adapting to the adventure. Kristen has spent more than 25 years working in public affairs, including serving as a spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2014 to 2016. A graduate of BYU and a Las Vegas native, she brings a unique perspective shaped by the desert, the mountains, and now the Great Lakes.
