Hi! I’m Krista :)

I’m a Milwaukee-based performer who recently graduated from UW Madison with degrees in Vocal Performance and Acting. I’ve been performing literally my whole life- I took my first music class at 2 months old and never stopped! I’ve always been passionate about theatre, and love every opportunity I get to dive into working on a new show or character. I’ve had so many incredible teachers that have helped me grow as an actor and musician, and I do my best to pass down that knowledge through my various teaching pursuits. When I’m not inside a theatre, I can be found journaling, drinking caramel lattes, or petting every dog I meet. My New Year’s resolution this year was to pet 100 dogs, and I currently keep a list on my phone of all the nice dogs! Scroll down on this page to see what I’m currently working on.
