Kristine Fink

Originally from Scarsdale, New York Kristine Fink earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Manufacturing from Michigan Technological University and moved to Wyoming in 2020. In 2022, she completed her MBA with an emphasis in Finance at the University of Wyoming. During her time at UW, Kristine competed in the Daniels Ethics Fund Competition—an experience that shaped her perspective on business ethics and the importance of ethical leadership. The lessons she gained through her MBA continue to guide her career, and she remains committed to sharing those principles within the College of Business and the broader community.
Kristine currently serves as Quality Assurance Manager at EMIT Technologies, where she oversees quality across production processes to ensure every product meets internal standards and customer expectations. Her responsibilities include reviewing in-process inspection data, tracking costs, identifying trends on the shop floor, and collaborating with production leads to address potential issues before they escalate. She also aligns inspection workflows with production schedules and tailors quality plans to specific products, customer requirements, and historical challenges to maintain consistency in both quality and delivery.
One of Kristine's favorite aspects of her work is real-time problem-solving. Whether improving efficiency or addressing unforeseen defects, she finds purpose in strengthening systems that support production teams and customers alike.
Wyoming has become home for Kristine thanks to its strong sense of community and opportunities to contribute—whether through business, sports development, or community health initiatives. In her spare time, she coaches volleyball and volunteers as a Basic EMT, both of which allow her to stay connected to the community she values deeply.
