Where did it all begin?
Krista realized her love of acting while performing at the Ontario Drama festival, when during her big scene not
even a fallen prop could break the moment. An Outstanding Performance Award confirmed her suspicions. After
getting her degree at the University of Toronto and climbing the corporate ladder at Rogers Communications, she finally
heard the stage calling her back home. It took many years to realize that her childhood love was
not a fluke and must be acted upon...
The
Big Change
After moving back to the big city (T.O) and giving up her "day job", Krista has lived what
seems another lifetime: Becoming an avid traveller road-tripping across the east coast of Canada, being flown
from Montreal to Calgary to Vancouver for TV shoots, rappelling in a Mayan centare, hosting a family Ceilidh on
the Irish Sea and picking heather in the highlands of Dalwhinnie (her great uncle worked at the distillery). But her
true breakthrough was performing live as a lead player on the stage again, and singing in a classic rock band!
The Big Move
BIGGER
Krista's dream of working on the big screen finally found roots and wings
in further traning with Actors' Studio veteran and coach, Janine Manatis. Learning to trust her powerful smile, humour and charm, she began starring in many national and
U.S. national commercials, including "Pepsico", "Sears", "Ontario Tourism", "Contac
C" and "Wal-Mart" with Designer Guys Steven and Chris (see her commercial reel if you need a reminder). d
