Personal

At nine years old, Kristen was already speed skating, but she first started figure skating at only three years old. She first gained an interest in speed skating after she saw an advertisement on the Disney Channel. In addition to skating, Kristen also played high school soccer, and you can find her hiking, skiing or hanging out by the pool in her free time. After she finishes speed skating, she hopes to pursue a career as a physical therapist. She has the most amount of love for her husky, Bear, and she also brings her Teddy Bear named “Teddy” whenever and wherever she travels. She has also been a vegetarian her whole life, and she has a small smiley face tattoo on the bottom of one of her toes. Although her name is Kristen Santos, her closest friends and teammates refer to her by her nickname, “Puff.” Although it’s not an actual food in her opinion, her favorite food is vinegar because he has it with basically everything she eats.
