Since then, she has been nominated for several Emmy Awards and had the honor of winning several trophies. Kristine has navigated her viewers through numerous breaking news events. Most recently she logged 10-12 hour days behind the anchor desk covering Hurricane Sandy and the blizzard of 2013. She also covered live stories ranging from Pope Benedict's visit to the Big Apple to the miracle landing on the Hudson. Kristine has field anchored several historic events, including breaking news coverage from ground zero after the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden and the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks with former President George W. Bush and current President Barack Obama in attendance. She broadcasted live in the days following the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn. And she traveled to Boston to broadcast live following the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
