Hi there. I'm Kristine.
Despite the fact that I write almost exclusively in the first person, I've always found penning my own bio challenging. How much should I tell you? How much do I reveal upfront?
For starters, I'm a proud Berkeley graduate with degrees in fields I'll probably never work in professionally (sorry, Religious Studies and Peace & Conflict Studies). After college I did a brief stint in sales at a hip tech company in San Francisco, during which time I quickly learned that no amount of free booze and food could make cold calling a viable life path for me.
Following that I was fortunate enough to land into the world of social media marketing, a field I've been interested in since the early days of the Internet. I'm currently an Executive Vice President and DEI Steward at Edelman, where I lead global accounts and global teams.
Authenticity and vulnerability are two of my core values, and you’ll find a lot of that present in my writing. If anything you see here resonates, drop me line at deguzman.kristine@gmail.com. I’d love to hear from you. :)
