Hi! My name is Krista. I love little kids and meeting new people! My high school years were filled with spontaneity and I enjoyed keeping a busy schedule. I think college is amazing and I cannot wait to become a pre-k teacher. My major is early childhood education. I learn best by hand-on experiences and visuals. I love projects and group assignments, mostly because I'm a pretty outgoing person. I'm not a fan of huge reading assignments. Outside of school I like typical girl things like shopping and hanging out with friends. I played field hockey in high school and I'll be playing intermural fh here. Can't wait to get to know you all better! :) Back to personal pages
