“Welcome to your community magazine! My hope is that the stories we share are impactful, informative and fun! We want to connect the community in positive ways that support everyone. We live in paradise and there is nowhere I would rather be!”
Kristin has lived in Palos Verdes for over 16 years and has two children, Grace (16) and Ross (14) both who attend Palos Verdes High School. An active volunteer in the community Kristin has proudly served the PEF both in fundraising and on the board, is a member of the Peninsula Chapter of NCL, PTSA, Booster Club, and was even a Girl Scout Leader. Seeing the Peninsula as one community made up of many smaller ones Kristin recognized the joy of connecting people. From her years of advertising and marketing experience and volunteer opportunities Palos Verdes Magazine and its sister publication PalosVerdesMagazine.com came to be. Both the print publication and the interactive site highlight and spotlight everything there is to love about where we live: Palos Verdes. The website boasts an interactive calendar that is as unique as Palos Verdes itself. Community members can efficiently post and promote upcoming events and opportunities creating an even stronger community of opportunity and connectivity.
Connectivity. Community. Palos Verdes Magazine.
