Kristin Watkins
Kristin is the Administrator for the Holland Regenerative Medicine Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and a PhD student in the history of medicine and public health, with special interest in infectious diseases.

She has been acting since the age of eight, has been in over 100 different productions, both musicals and dramas, and has acted professionally in theatre, film and video. Prior to pursuing her career in health, Kristin worked in design and administration of theatre for 15 years. Additionally, she completed her undergraduate internship at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
