Hi! I’m Kristi Board. I’m originally from Burgaw, NC. My husband Coleman and I lived in Raleigh for 7 years before moving to Hampstead, NC in 2021. I have 3 boys Ryder, Rivers, and Rigley. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. I worked in Education in Wake County for 6 years as a Kindergarten teacher, and worked 1 year in New Hanover County as a Special Education Teacher – that’s where I met Bethany!
