Meet Our People – Kristina

Meet our people! đź‘‹ Say hi to Kristina Willard one of our case managers at Hearts And Hands of Care.


Get to know more about Kristina:

My Name is Kristina, I am from Bethel Alaska and I’ve been a Case Manager at Hearts And Hands of Care for just over a year now.

I primarily work with Family Habilitation and Group Home services but we manage many other waiver and PCS services.

Before becoming a Case Manager, I was an in home/community provider in the field with HAHOC for almost a year. Outside of HAHOC I’d been involved with human services for about nine years (public health nursing, drug/alcohol treatment, youth counseling).

Favorite Part of Working At Hearts & Hands of Care: The thing I love most about my work with Hearts and Hands of Care is the people I have the privilege to work with, get to know and share experiences with. I find great fulfillment in helping others discover, work toward and achieve their personal goals. We are all so incredibly unique.

Spare Time Hobbies: In my spare time I enjoy baking, creating short stories, painting – sometimes just to make a mess of things, getting fresh air with a hike or shoveling the snow… snuggling my kitten with a book in front of the fireplace is always enjoyable too.

Favorite Food: My coworkers get a good laugh at my “favorite foods”; you’ll catch me eating and offering everyone cheese/nuts/fruit/hummus/veggies quite often. I usually get a polite no thanks. More for me!

Little Know/Fun Fact: I make a mean cheesecake. I’m also expecting my first child late spring 2022.

Personal Goals: Lastly, I have a life goal of taking the time to volunteer internationally with the American Red Cross. No place in particular but I’ll be overjoyed to be a part of their mission.
