Kristen Pacheco
Event Manager
Kristen started with Blackstone as a server in August 2013 and has been an Event Manager for the last several years. She has been working in the hospitality industry for the last 17 years. Even though she loves being an event manager, she does miss being a server and having the opportunity to set up all the charcuterie boards.
When she is not working for Blackstone, Kristen spends her days as sixth grade math teacher at JH Gaudet Middle School in Middletown, RI. She is currently in her tenth year of teaching middle school math. She loves jumping back and forth between the world of teaching and the world of catering and applies the same mindset to both careers – keep calm in the organized chaos.
