Hi! My name is Kristen Brown. I am a journalist, entrepreneur, videographer, and producer.
I grew up in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia. I graduated from Millwood High School in 2007 and then spent time traveling. While traveling I developed a passion for writing and story telling. I then decided to further develop my story telling skills while learning more about filming and editing through the Radio, Television & Journalism program at NSCC. I graduated with a major in Broadcast Journalism in 2016.
Following graduation I immediately started my own full service media production business called Arrow & Knot Productions with a classmate. We have been a full time business for 9 years now, and are an award winning production house with nationally televised content.
I also co-host and produce a podcast for entrepreneurs on the East Coast called The Caffeine & Anxiety Podcast. This podcast allows myself and my co-hosts to talk about issues that we are facing as creative entrepreneurs and mental health.
Please take a look around, I look forward to hearing from you!
