Experience

Kristeen has worked as a professional writer for 15 years, with the bulk of her experience involving health, wellness, and lifestyle content. With a lifelong passion for writing and an interest in beauty, health, and wellness topics, the 2008 recession inspired her to think of ways to make a living off of her expertise — this is when her freelance and online content career was born. Her work is regularly featured on Healthline and EverydayHealth and she's also a consistently sought-after feature and ghostwriter on numerous topics related to health and lifestyle. Some of the topics she's most passionate about include skin care, women's health, and mental health. Kristeen has published short books about mental health and running, and holds bylines in several well-respected scholarly journals, including Praxis: A Writing Center Journal, Digital Rhetoric Collaborative, and Disability Studies Quarterly. She has a passion for educating others and worked as an English instructor at a Research 1 institute, where she earned an Advanced Teaching Fellowship. Additionally, she's used her lifelong interest in politics to write a weekly political column for The Eagle-News student newspaper at Florida Gulf Coast University. Kristeen brought her experience and expertise to her role at Static Media in 2023.

Education

Kristeen graduated with a Ph.D. in English (rhetoric and composition) from Georgia State University. She also holds an M.A. in English and B.A. in communication, with a minor in marketing.
