About Me

SHORT AND SWEET, IN A NUT SHEL: My name is Krystal, and I'm 24. I graduated from the Art Institute of Philadelphia with a Bachelors Degree in Media Arts and Animation. I interned at Nickelodeon in NYC. I do a lot of freelance work from home. I am an art teacher at Costello Prep in Tabernacle NJ. I plan on relocating to SoCal twd the end of 2008 to find a job in my field. I love to ride my long board, both on the road and on the waves. I can not go a day without being goofy, smiling, listening to music, doodling, and being around people. I have an amazing group of friends and a wonderfully supportive and loving family. I love life and I strive to make the best of it every single day.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Jordan-
