Keen to return to the country lifestyle, Kristy joined the ABC after working for the BBC in London for two years.
Born and bred in Tamworth, Kristy's media career has seen her work in print, television, online and now radio.
Living up to her last name, Kristy loves a good book, travelling, and trying to keep her multiple number of plants alive.
As the ABC New England North West Breakfast presenter, sharing stories from the people and places that make up the vibrant region, is worth the 4am alarm.
