Krista grew up in the small town of Baker, MT and graduated from high school in Spearfish, South Dakota. Krista got her start in tv as a reporter at KMOT-NBC in Minot, North Dakota where she also attended Minot State University and received her BA in Broadcasting. She also spent a few years in Rapid City, South Dakota working as a main anchor at both KEVN-FOX and KNBN-NBC. After spending most of her life up north, she moved to the Sunshine State and worked as the main anchor at FOX4 in Fort Myers for five years. But she thought she missed the cold weather and moved back up north. She was wrong and came back to Southwest Florida in 2012. She worked as the morning anchor on NBC2 for two years, then moved back to evenings as the main anchor on ABC7 in 2014. In 2022 Krista decided she had had enough of working holidays and late nights. She left tv news and started working for a Real Estate Brokerage in Naples. As the VP of Communications and Community Relations, she still reports SWFL news. But this time it’s just happy news on social media platforms. Krista has a special place in her heart for animals and has helped different Humane Societies, as well as the Animal Refuge Center. She also has volunteered for the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Cystic Fibrosis, Juvenile Diabetes, Children’s Miracle Network, Bosom Buddies, Multiple Sclerosis Society, and United Way… just to name a few! Krista loves to bake and eat. As a result, she spends a lot of time at the gym. She is a yoga instructor who teaches at resorts all over the Caribbean. She also loves getting outside rollerblading, biking, and walking with her husband, Lance, and two rescue dogs, Cabo and Tuco.
