We first crossed paths during our master’s program, but it all started even before we met in person. Nicole spotted Kristen during online orientation and thought, “Wow, this is a girl I definitely need to get to know.” Kristen felt a spark the very first day of class when she saw Nicole and made a beeline to sit next to her on day two. From that moment on, they were inseparable partners-in-crime. Their friendship really blossomed at Tampa Pride, where laughter turned into something a little more magical. And well... the rest is happily ever after.
