Mount Rainier Graduate Featured in November #HighlineAlum Campaign
Tue, 11/17/2015
Highline boasts a long list of well-known and accomplished alumni and dozens of grads you haven't yet heard of who are making their mark on the world. One of those graduates is Kristina Baskett, a 2005 Mount Rainier High School graduate.
Highline is featuring Kristina in this month’s #HighlineAlum social media campaign. She currently works as a TV and movie stunt woman. Some of Kristina’s stunt work includes Modern Family, Glee, Scandal, Into the Storm, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She has also performed in Viva Elvis, a Cirque Du Soleil live show.
“I’m so grateful for the Highline school district. I have always had big dreams as a gymnast. They have always been so supportive since elementary school, middle school, and high school, and have given me everything that they could for my sport and my academics,” said Kristina.
Kristina started her career early as a gymnast. After becoming a Junior Olympic Champion, she earned a full ride gymnastics scholarship to the University of Utah, where Kristina finished her college career as an NCAA Champion on the uneven bars, 12-time All-American, and earned 7 NCAA medals all together.
Each month, we are featuring successful, high-profile alum and up-and-coming alum on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages. The features include a short video clip of the alumnus. The community is invited to follow along by using the hashtag #HighlineAlum.
