Kristina is a bilingual Gabonese American writer and producer currently residing in Libreville,
Gabon. She worked in conservation before founding Gaboma Multimedia & Production Studios in 2021, an independent production company specializing in television and film production. Her work focuses on nature documentaries and factual storytelling that explore the intersection between nature, conservation, archaeology, and African cultures, highlighting ancestral and cultural relationships with the land and environment.
In 2023, Kristina participated in the NEWF Producer’s Lab, a program supported by the National Geographic Society, where she wrote and produced a wildlife film following a young gorilla tracker in southwestern Gabon. The film transports viewers deep into Gabon’s rainforests, teeming with medicinal plants and hidden histories, while exploring knowledge passed down through both ancestors and the forest itself.
In 2025, Kristina delivered a TEDx talk alongside her collaborator Jacqueline Farmer on embracing the female gaze in nature storytelling and the importance of amplifying diverse voices in wildlife filmmaking. Kristina is currently directing The Last Lion of Gabon, a feature wildlife documentary exploring the unexpected return of the lion, once thought to be locally extinct, to Batéké National Park in Gabon, and the fragile future of conservation in the country’s southeastern forest savannah complex. Alongside this long form work, she has also produced short documentary pieces on archaeology, wildlife conservation, and environmental issues in Gabon.
Through her work, she advocates for reframing conservation narratives in ways that help global
audiences reconnect with nature and support the preservation of the world’s remaining wild
spaces.
