Winner's Biography
Kristin Hausstein was born in 1988 in then-communist East Berlin, Germany. When she was 15, she decided to become an exchange student in the United States, and a lovely Kentucky family took her into their home. After receiving her high school diploma from West Carter High School in Olive Hill, Kristin saw the possibility of coming back to the U.S. and enrolled at Morehead State University. She is now a junior in pursuit of a double major in Sociology and Communication with emphasis in Ad/Pr. Her plans for the future are to continue her fellowship with Dr. Robert Frank, who sponsored her prize-winning paper, and whom Kristin describes as a “great mentor” to her. She also plans to attend graduate school. Once finished with school, Kristin hopes to find a job in research or event management that allows her to travel the world.
