About V$FM

Hey MomFriends!! 

I’m Kristina Butler, your DEI Practitioner and Podcaster who’s passionate about supporting fellow professionals and aspiring professionals as they meet their life and career goals while maintaining some sense of balance. I’m a certified HR Professional with an MSHRD (MS in Human Resource Development), a PHR (Professional in Human Resources-HRCI designation) and an SHRM-CP (SHRM Certified Professional).

I began my career in the financial services industry back in 1999, but recently made a career leap from corporate HR to the nonprofit sector with the goal of maximizing impact in my community. I volunteer at a local domestic violence program and still lend my decades of HR experience to support others in their career journeys.

I am the single mother of two amazing daughters (one teenager and one adult) who keep life interesting with their unique personalities. I was born and raised in Queens, New York and now call RVA home (for now). I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling to Mexico where I can practice my Spanish, planning in my digital (and sometimes paper) planner, and periodically wiping the dust off of my Peloton bike.  One interesting fact about me is that I attended boarding school for 9th and 10th grades and it was truly a life-changing experience. Highly recommend!
