Away from work, Kristina’s happiest with a good book, art history, history, politics and poetry top her list of favourites. She’s also a theatre enthusiast and loves the mental challenge of cryptic crosswords and the occasional pub quiz. In between all that, she’s busy being a proud mum to her two British Shorthair cats, Henrietta and Nikita, who definitely keep her on her toes!

Looking ahead, Kristina hopes to return to learning French and pick up where she left off, a challenge she’s excited to embrace.
