Kristin M. Yee

Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency

In a world increasingly marked by division and isolation, Sister Kristin M. Yee has seen healing remedies to those social ills through the gospel of Jesus Christ and Relief Society.

“Relief Society unites us under Him,” she said. “Wherever I have traveled in the world, I look for my Relief Society sisters, and I instantly feel loved and known. There is a commonality of Christ and in our testimonies of Him.”

Sister Yee, who had been serving on the Primary general advisory council, approaches her new calling as Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency with a certainty that she does not work alone.

“The Lord is in charge, and I trust Him,” she said. “I also feel strongly that we need everyone in His work. We all have a role to play, and we can be a part of this work together. I am so grateful for an opportunity to serve.”

Kristin Mae Yee was born May 5, 1981, in Sacramento, California, USA, to Ryan R. Yee and Jaydean Fox McKay. She later moved to Idaho, USA, and then to Utah.

She discovered at an early age both a love of and talent for art, which have guided her educational and professional paths. She holds undergraduate degrees in fine arts from Brigham Young University–Idaho and Brigham Young University. In 2019 she earned a master of public administration from BYU.

Sister Yee’s artistic skills and focus led her to a position as an artist and producer at Disney Interactive Studios, where she worked for 13 years. She now manages the Church’s animation team. Her gospel-themed paintings include portraits of the Savior’s mortal ministry.

Sister Yee has served in many Church callings, including as stake Relief Society president, ward Relief Society presidency counselor and teacher, ward Young Women president, Gospel Doctrine teacher, ward missionary, and temple ordinance worker.
