KRISTEEN COOMBS P'24

Kristeen Coombs is the director of development for the Office of Gift Planning at Willamette University, where she works with alumni, parents, and friends to help them achieve their philanthropic goals while supporting the university’s mission. In her role she manages a portfolio of major gift and gift planning prospects, building meaningful relationships and guiding donors through the process of creating lasting legacies at Willamette.

Kristeen joined Willamette in 2014 after more than two decades in executive-level administration, office management, account management, and client relations across both public and private sectors. This diverse background shaped her strong commitment to service, collaboration, and relationship-building—skills that now serve her work with the university’s donor community.

Beyond her professional life, Kristeen is deeply devoted to her family and friends. She finds joy in baking, reading, traveling, and spending time outdoors. She and her husband Scott share their adventures with their two beloved dogs, Saydee and Kali.
