Kristin Light

Kristin is currently working as an Employee Engagement and Change Management Specialist with ONxpress Transportation Partners, with an emphasis on mental health and neurodiversity. As a communications strategist, vintage dance specialist, and co-founder of a successful events company, she was perhaps the last person you’d expect to be dealing with cognitive and mental disabilities. Following a brush with suicide that left her confined to a psychiatric ward, she now speaks out to provide insight and strategies that demystify mental illness and neurodiversity.
