Kristina Marty is a professor of public administration and policy and Hinman College’s Collegiate Professor. She has worked for various organizations, including a public housing authority, county government and a nonprofit organization. Her research focuses on the management of health and human service organizations that assist individuals in meeting basic needs, including in crisis situations.

Her work appears in a variety of prominent public administration, nonprofit, public policy, and higher education teaching journals, including Public Administration Review, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Nonprofit Management and Leadership, The American Review of Public Administration, Administration & Society, Public Performance & Management Review, Journal of Public Affairs Education, Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement and others.
