Kristi Eaton
Kristi's connection with KEEN evolved from a decade-long role as a volunteer, KEEN coach, and then Associate Board member, leading to her proud staff inclusion in 2022. Having a nephew with autism, a cousin with Down syndrome, and being part of the disability community herself, she deeply understands the challenges our families face. With over a decade in the entertainment industry, organizing a wide array of events and notably producing for Stephen Hawking, she discovered profound inspiration. Hawking’s words, “we must transcend our limits,” reshaped her career trajectory. Fueled by philanthropy studies at Columbia University and her dedication to KEEN, Kristi is driven to forge a more inclusive environment. Her mission at KEEN is to leverage her varied experience to foster a nurturing, stable community, providing vital support to families navigating disabilities.
Corina joined the KEEN NY family in 2013 as a BK basketball volunteer. The Coaches Committee quickly adopted her as one of their own and thus began her passionate love affair with the community. In 2017, Corina led the inaugural yoga program and also joined the KEEN NY Associate Board. Through the Associate Board, she planned several fundraisers, including the widely popular KEEN on Comedy show. As an active member of the Coaches Committee, she regularly leads the BK yoga program and also helps facilitate other programs.
Outside of KEEN, she spends her free time working in the exhilarating world of structured finance. She is often seen in the company of a finicky Shih-Tzu and a very muscular boyfriend who didn't help write this.
