In March of 2023, Krista Klein was hired alongside Karen Marinos as the co-head coach to help launch the Malone University STUNT program.
Cheerleading, dance, and gymnastics have always been a part of Krista Klein's life. While obtaining her bachelor's degree from the University of Akron in communications with a specialization in radio, TV, and news, she was on the Zips' co-ed cheerleading team.
Prior to that she was on her high school's cheerleading team that competed in STUNT as well.
Her coaching experience includes working with local cheerleading teams at both Lake Center Christian School and Lake Middle School.
In addition to that coaching expertise, Klein comes to Malone with years of management and ownership experience in the corporate business world.
