Kris is a Director at NATIONAL Public Relations' Digital Practice in Ottawa, where she leads integrated communications and digital public affairs strategies for some of Canada's most iconic brands. With over 11 years of cross-sector experience engaging elected officials, issue advocacy, and paid media, she designs and executes strategic communications programs that influence public opinion, build credibility, and move the needle with decision-makers.

At NATIONAL, Kris works across Canada's biggest industries—from defence to telecom to transportation—advising clients operating in highly regulated environments on engaging stakeholders, mitigating risk, and delivering advocacy campaigns that support better social and economic outcomes. Her ability to synthesize complex issues into actionable strategies makes her a trusted advisor at the intersection of digital media, issue advocacy, and public affairs.

Before joining NATIONAL, Kris was the Executive Director of the youth outreach and advocacy program of Canada's largest national taxpayer advocacy group, where her talent for executing multi-platform and integrated campaigns captured the attention of national media, lawmakers, and the public, raising the profile and voices of Canada's youngest and future generation of taxpayers. Before that, she worked as a Conservative political staffer on Parliament Hill, offering counsel on strategic communications, constituent and stakeholder outreach, and policy analysis for various Members of Parliament.

Kris understands how government works—what motivates stakeholders, and how to craft messages that cut through the noise. Leading high impact, multi-faceted campaigns that spark important conversations and mobilize support is what she does best.
