Ortiz was born and raised in Texas, east of Dallas and south of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations in a town called Scurry. Her family on her father’s side were Mexican and on her mother’s side, they were white and Indigenous. After her parents divorced, Kristy’s mother moved to California and this gave her a chance to escape from her small town to spread her wings and fly. Her ancestral family was in Los Angeles, so close they are buried 10 miles from where Kristy lives now. She came to California in her senior year of high school in her cowboy boots fresh off the farm and soon after graduation began working in the mortgage industry. She was a homeowner for many years but received a buyout from her spouse and now she currently rents a single family residence in Garden Grove.
