Kristen started line-dancing in 1997 at her primary school. She competed in her first competition at the age of 15 in a regional championship under PJ Boot Scooters.

Kristen then started attending classes outside of school, where she found her love for dancing, and took competition more seriously.

She then undertook training a small team of kids under 12yrs group which started off as 4 members, and then grew to 9 within the ages of 10 to 17.

Kristen trained them once a week, helped them with choreography and whom now hold many Australian Titles of their own.

Kristen then branched off, and joined Cowboys & Angels! This was an exciting moment for Kristen. She proved herself with her record medal tally in 2006 at the Australian Championships gaining 4 gold's, 5 silvers and 6 bronze!

Unfortunately, the travelling to and from VIC was too much for Kristen, and she therefore had to leave the team.  She then decided to come back to Red Hot & Country!

Kristen also dances with Crossfire in her own age group events.
