Kristen Eixmann received her B.S. in Horticulture from Texas A&M University in 1999. After a one year hiatus in another department, Kristen returned to Horticulture and in April 2001, she began her research career. She is currently working with Dr. Terri Starman in Floriculture.

Kristen is a fifth generation Brazos County Area resident. Her family has lived in the small town of Kurten for over 150 years. Kristen also has strong family ties to Danevang, Texas where her mother's family lives.

Kristen enjoys activities that allow her to be outside. Gardening, fishing, and camping are some of her favorites. She also has fun baking, reading and exploring her family's rich history. Kristen finds joy in learning new things, especially "old time" or "forgotten" crafts such as making lace and quilting.
