Writing has always been a part of Krista's life. As a teen, she preferred to write her friends a letter than spend hours on the phone. Today she works as a research associate at the University of Calgary, where she writes about the daily food provisioning experience of women in Canada and abroad. This work has taught her the value of enabling voice in everyday life, and she uses this experience in her work as a social media consultant.
Krista is a registered dietitian and holds a graduate degree in health promotion studies from the University of Alberta, and she is excited to be able to share her passion for fitness and healthy eating. She strongly believes that life is for living and is proud to be able to do so in the city of Calgary.

Regardless of whether you are hitting the books or back to a regular work schedule (goodbye, summer Fridays!), September is rife with renewal thanks to 12+ years of back-to-school. As young professionals, we don’t necessarily need a new outfit to mark the first day back after Labour Day or even new office supplies, but we could gain by refocusing on o...

Although popular artwork is and should be lauded for its broad appeal, it can be a bit disheartening to find yourself staring at the same print you felt expressed your unique personality and style so well at every turn. As you start furnishing your home with furniture and decor that doesn’t come in a flat-packed box, you’ll want to spend some t...
