Kristi Stolzenberg is slowly accepting that she’s now on the seasoned side of the military spouse spectrum, having written about military life since 2008.

After making good use of her B.A. in English, Kristi finished her master’s in political management in 2018. On a typical day, you’ll find her juggling everything from editing to soccer practice, volunteering to board meetings.
