About Kristen: Growth Strategy Consultant & Freelancing Mentor

Kristen is a freelance growth strategist who’s earned over $500,000 in the last four years from clients she found on Upwork. She knows the platform inside and out, not just as a top-earning freelancer, but also as a recruiter who’s reviewed thousands of Upwork profiles and proposals on behalf of her clients.

She built a thriving consulting business while living with chronic illness and working just 20 hours a week—proving you don’t need to sacrifice your health (or your life) to hit six figures. Freelancing helped her achieve her longtime dream of moving to Barcelona, where she now runs her business with more freedom, flexibility, and sunshine.

Kristen also teaches other freelancers how to stand out on Upwork and land high-paying, long-term clients—so they can build businesses (and lives) they love, too.
