Kristina's Bio:

 When assignments are handed to Kristina Hayes, there is never room for any qualms. She has the drive, patience, and positive attitude it takes to produce results. As an undergraduate at Western Kentucky University (WKU), Kristina found opportunities to exercise her creative and professional skills through independently produced class and freelance projects, along with an internship during the summer of 2006 in Washington, DC at Double R Productions. 


After graduating in 2007 from WKU’s School of Journalism and Broadcasting, Kristina later joined the production team of the Lifetime television show Get Married in April 2008. She experienced a three-fold transition from intern, to production assistant, and finally associate producer. As associate producer, Kristina edits for internet and television content, writes short show segments, and manages various production needs among staff (i.e. logs, equipment, closed captioning, etc.). Kristina knows the true meaning of multi-tasking with a purpose. 


Kristina Hayes is a hardworking individual that is passionate about the production industry, and aspires to contribute to the making of quality programming that reflects, inspires, and educates society.
