Kristen is an Industry Operations Investigator in the Charlotte Field Division currently serving as an Area Supervisor. She is a native of Texas who has worked 10 years at the ATF. Prior to starting her ATF career, Kristen played NCAA softball and graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice.

Kristen grew up in a law enforcement family with both grandparents working at the U.S. Customs Service and her father is a retired ATF Special Agent. Kristen knew as a child she wanted to continue the family legacy and work in law enforcement. She likes working at ATF because all the situations and experiences are different, which keeps things interesting. When not working, Kristen loves any activity that gets her outdoors. She enjoys running, fitness, camping, and spending time with her family.  

Thank you, Kristen, for inspiring others to work hard and pursue their goals. We appreciate the unique qualities of each of our employees. It’s what makes ATF collectively better.
