Krisztina lectures in philosophy, ethics and apologetics at Oak Hill College. She holds degrees in Philosophy and Theology (BA), Philosophy and Religion and Ethics (MA), and she recently obtained a PhD in philosophical theology (viva passed, 2025). 

Before joining Oak Hill College, Krisztina served with UCCF as a Staff Worker and Assistant Team Leader in the Midlands. She also worked as a Reach volunteer with Friends International and led student ministry at a local church in Birmingham.

In 2019, Krisztina published her first book, MORE>Truth (IVP), and in 2020, she edited and contributed to Healthy Faith and the Coronavirus Crisis (IVP)—the first full-length response to the pandemic. She also co-hosts the PEP Talk podcast with Dr Andy Bannister and remains involved in other public outreach projects with various UK and international organisations. 

Originally from Hungary, Krisztina grew up in the UK and now calls the Midlands home. Krisztina attends a church in London. She enjoys playing the cello (enthusiastically, if not expertly), singing, reading, and planning adventurous travels—usually involving at least one international mishap. She can often be found wandering the British Library, the British Museum, or the National Gallery, and she deeply values time spent with friends, family, and strangers—preferably with a glass of wine, a little jazz, and plenty of good conversation.
