What was your most unexpected moment? I had heard of a fantastic business opportunity during one of my school semesters. A reputable marketing company was offering college students the opportunity to implement their business/selling skills, for a grand prize of $100,00.00. After being interviewed and selected, we were all told it would be a reality tv show. During one of the preliminary meetings, I was asked to do sometihng spontaneous. Seeing that there was a stage with a micraphone set up, I jumped up and sang one of my favorite classic 1920's songs, infront of an audiance of 1500 people.

What is the best compliment you’ve ever received? I have what I like to call, a four finger forehead. Growing up I felt goofy when I pulled my hair back off of my face. After hearing my complaint about the size of my forehead, and simply stating his opinion, my brother told me that he liked my forehead, and prefered girls who had foreheads like mine.

Other than a family member, who would you consider to be your role model? I do not have one specific role model. I take inspiration from many people all the time. One of the leading qualities in people I look up to is confidence. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who knows who they are, and are not afraid to share their opinions and views with othres.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? The best advice I've ever received was to always be myself, but more importantly, to always be the best Krystle I could be. At the end the day, we are all stuck with ourselves, so why not live every moment to its fullest potential?
