Kristina Merritt ’12: Shining Knights Alumna 2020

By Kristina Merritt ’12

Since being honored with the 2020 Shining Knights Young Alumni Award, I have transitioned into a new career in legal marketing and business development. I am currently serving as a Practice Development Manager for the Litigation Section at Holland & Knight. In this role, I’m able to combine my law degree and in-house legal experience to drive marketing and business development strategies for our attorneys and practices.

Outside of work, I remain actively involved in the Junior League of Tampa. I’m also thrilled to be getting married this spring and looking forward to this exciting new chapter of my life—especially as I work on converting my future husband into a passionate UCF Knight fan!
