Kirsten is a currently a junior at Brookfield Academy and has been on the Honor Roll for the past 8 years.

Kirsten has been studying both French and Norwegian for over 10 years. This past summer, she was honored to introduce Dr. Tove Dahl to a crowd of over 3,000 people at Concordia Language Villages, where Dr. Dahl was also awarded knighthood by the King of Norway.
In her spare time, Kirsten is an avid sailor (she was the Milwaukee Yacht Club Corinthian Award Recipient four times.) She enjoys playing tennis and has been on the Varsity Tennis Team for the past three years. In addition to playing sports, Kirsten is also a sports reporter for Knights Notes. She has recently developed an interest in high fashion and designed her evening gown for the state competition.
During her year wearing the crown, Kirsten hopes to encourage teens everywhere to embrace who they are and to resist peer pressure. As she has proven, Kirsten believes that authenticity is the key to success in any endeavor.
Throughout her reign, Kirsten will spend her year building relationships with organizations devoted to education and action, such as Best Buddies, D.A.R.E., and Project Sunshine to name a few.
