Kristen Hackett serves as the Educational Outreach Director for United Families International. She first became involved with UFI while studying at BYU–Idaho, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Marriage and Family. After completing an internship with UFI, Kristen continued her work with the organization, driven by a deep commitment to its mission.

Kristen is passionate about defending and strengthening the core principles of UFI’s six-point mission: family, marriage, life, parents, human sexuality, and religious liberty. In her current role, she oversees education outreach initiatives and works closely with teams and partners to develop and expand family-centered educational resources.

Above all, Kristen values her family. She and her husband, Ryan, are the parents of five children, have a wonderful daughter-in-law and son-in-law, and are proud grandparents to three grandsons, with a fourth grandson arriving soon. She enjoys spending time with her family, especially traveling together and experiencing new places and cultures. In her quieter moments, Kristen loves reading and can often be found during the summer months relaxing by the pool with a good book while children play nearby.
