Kristine started her career in engineering in the oil and gas sector. As she started to make more money, she thought it would be smart to get professional help to manage her money. As many did in the early 2000s, she spoke to a financial advisor at her local bank. Her experience was not positive. She was frustrated and left without a useful money plan. She felt belittled for her Money-spending choices and talked down to when she asked investing questions. This experience prompted her to learn how to manage her own investments in a way that made sense for her needs.

Eventually, Kristine completed her MBA and then spent 10 years in the finance industry working with institutional and accredited investors (professional investors or investors with a net worth of at least $1 million). Kristine noticed that the financial system didn’t meet the needs of women - not even the needs of women with a lot of money. If the financial system didn’t work for affluent women, it definitely would not include the needs of everyday women with less wealth. Her personal experiences plus learning about how women, particularly everyday women, are underserved and largely ignored in the financial system prompted her to start Untangle Money in 2020.

Kristine is a P.Eng and has a MBA in Finance from Ivey Business School. She is pursuing her Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. Kristine and her husband have a busy family with three fun and adorable children. Kristine does her best to make time to do the activities that bring her joy - reading, climbing, cycling and spending time with friends.
