About the Author
KRISTIN CAVALLARI Born in Denver, Colorado, the Rocky Mountains couldn't have predicted what was in store for Kristin Cavallari when she headed west to live with her father and brother in Laguna Beach, CA. Cavallari was in her junior year of high school when the first season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County began production for MTV. With her whit, charisma and girl next-door looks, Cavallari was an instant TV sensation, winning over audiences across the nation. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in 2006 for "Choice Reality Star." After wrapping two successful years on MTV's hit show, Laguna Beach, Cavallari switched gears to focus on a career in acting. From 2006 - 2009 Kristin starred in numerous films like Van Wilder: Freshman Year (2009) , Green Flash (2009) , Spring Breakdown (2009) , and Wild Cherry (2009) , starring alongside Amy Poehler, Rumer Willis, and Rob Schneider.Still, Cavallari's fun-loving attitude towards TV continued to shine, and was apparent when she landed a guest role on CBS's hit show CSI: NY in 2008 and ABC's The Middle. Other gigs under Cavallari's belt include Veronica Mars, a lead role in Teddy Geiger's "For You I Will (Confidence) " music video and Gavin Degraw's video for his single, "In Love with a Girl."

In 2010, Kristin joined the fight to aid underprivileged children around the globe, serving as an ambassador of the children's charity One Kid One World. Cavallari traveled to El Salvador where she dedicated personal time towards rebuilding schools in local communities. Continuing her humanitarian efforts, Kristin made her way to Kenya in early 2011 for yet another extraordinary and successful project with One Kid One World.
