Kristina (Howard) Yates
Former camper, Camper of the Year, and CIT, Kristina Howard married her high school sweetheart, Brenden Yates on September 20, 2019! Kristina and Brenden were married in Minnesota surrounded by family, friends, and 3 CER alums!
The couple both work at Medtronic, a medical device company. Kristina works as a biomedical engineer, specializing in next generation pacemakers and Brenden works as a business analyst, specializing in the heart failure market.
A note from Kristina:
Over 10 years since being a camper, CER still influences my life daily. It is amazing how much the leadership workshops taught me at such a young age, and how significantly CER shaped my life. I learned to believe in myself and was given tools to succeed in school and in relationships. I learned how important respect is- for yourself and for others. I learned the value of surrounding myself with people that support me. The CER community was the ultimate support system. These are just a few of the many CER life lessons I still carry with me!
