Kristin and one of her many friends

Kristin is an accredited artist/photographer.  Her work has been exhibited and published in New York, Sweden and Italy.  She came to marine science as a child.  Her father, Dr. Robert W. Johnson, taught biology at Hofstra University for 37 years and was a dedicated and knowledgeable environmentalist, and her “uncle,” Dr. Eugene Kaplan, is a noted expert in the field of marine biology.  Kristin also enjoys traveling, kayaking, catching big fish, walking in the wild woods, escaping to her family’s tree farm in Upstate New York, storytelling, reading and writing.  Her biggest joy is her precious baby boy.
