Kristine Binette
Community Education Manager
Kristine Binette is the Community Education Manager for Epilepsy Foundation New England, where she utilizes her extensive experience to understand the impact of seizures on families. She has trained over 2,000 school staff and nurses on epilepsy awareness and management. Kristine's personal connection to epilepsy is through her 19-year-old daughter, Delia, who has been living with epilepsy since she was just a month old.
A lifelong resident of Maine, Kristine currently lives in Cumberland with her husband, Jason, and their daughters, Morgan and Delia. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and is a certified elementary school teacher. After dedicating more than eight years to teaching 2nd and 3rd grades, Kristine chose to step away from her teaching career to care for her daughter. This decision, which she has never regretted, ultimately led her to a fulfilling role at Epilepsy Foundation New England.
