Kristina Villardi

Kristina Villardi brings structure and follow-through to volunteer-driven work, turning ideas into organized action with measurable results.

Villardi began her career at Caesars Entertainment, where she rose to director of attraction sales before moving into operations and philanthropy. As president of the Junior League of Las Vegas, an 80-year-old organization, she leads fundraising, governance and volunteer efforts for the 600-plus member nonprofit. Her work has helped generate more than $1.5 million, including growing the Paint the Town Red Gala from about $70,000 to more than $400,000. She also serves as director of philanthropy at Goodwill of Southern Nevada.

Board service with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas and hands-on volunteer work with mobile food pantries, youth life-skills classes and homelessness support reflect her direct involvement with families across Southern Nevada.
