Kristina Gaddy

Kristina has an MFA from Goucher College in nonfiction writing and writes mostly about history, culture, and health. She loves thinking about the past and present of houses and neighborhoods, something Baltimore makes easy. In her free time, she weaves on an 8-harness loom, plays fiddle, and snuggles with her cats. She lives in the Waverly neighborhood of Baltimore in a 1920s daylight-style rowhouse, which she firmly believes are the best housing stock in the city.
