“Through Kristina’s, omnipresent and relentlessly positive social media promotions, as well as hosting well-known personalities at the Barbados Open Water Festival she has created the ambience and a footprint at the Barbados event that is only shared among much more established and older events.  The constant promotional efforts and creative marketing initiatives that played off of the natural beauty of Barbados put the island on the open water swimming map.”
