Kirstin was raised on a cane farm in Central Queensland by her parents, Trish and Ian. She is one of the three siblings with brother Reece and sister, Alyscia.

Kirstin currently plays for Perth Womens Premier 1's team Suburban Lions, and plays an integral part in their inability to score up front.
