Author Bio

Kristy Smith, BS, MA, MA, CFLE is a humorist who challenges convention, complacency and unnecessary complexity one essay at a time. A certified family life educator and licensed social worker, Kristy holds degrees in human resources development, community agency counseling and career & technical education. She makes a habit of first examining her own idiosyncrasies before scrutinizing the heads and hearts of other people. Of course, after she finishes with herself, everyone else is fair game. Okay, always.

In addition to freelance writing, Kristy develops resumes for hire and speaks and trains on a variety of professional and personal development topics. Her ever-present sense of humor and entertaining perspective ensure audiences have fun while engaging in serious learning. Creativity, intention and stewardship underscore her work.

When not writing and speaking, Kristy can be found playing piano and cooking (but not at the same time). She relies on her entertaining friends, co-workers and her adventurous children, Connor and Kate Banks, for a wealth of subject matter. They are blessed to be living reasonably contentedly ever after in a restored 1875 farmhouse near Battle Creek, Michigan, where they enjoy multiple geeky pursuits.
