Born and raised in the Denver, Colorado, area, Kristi never imagined she would one day call another state home. However, after many road trips between Colorado and Kansas from 2020 to 2022, she, her husband, and three of their four children moved to Sterling in June 2022.

Before their daughter, Rebekah (Parish) Brownlee '24, and the rest of the family participated in a Sterling College campus tour in May 2019, they had never heard of Sterling College or Sterling, Kansas. That visit ultimately became the beginning of an unexpected journey.
