Kristin was a member of the USS Enterprise-D crew in the late 2360s.

In 2368, she was injured twice while diving off the Cliffs of Heaven in a recreation of Sumiko IV in the program 47-C on the holodeck. Doctor Beverly Crusher suggested she try the Emerald Wading Pool on Cirrus IV instead, as it was much safer. Unfortunately, while she was in sickbay the entire crew had their memories selectively blocked by a Satarran operative, allowing them to retain their talents but causing them to be unable to remember who they were. The doctor quickly realized her role as a physician, but Kristin wondered what her position was, as she was still in a bathing suit. (TNG: "Conundrum")
