Krista has a diverse background and has worked in many creative fields as a fashion designer, window / visual display merchandiser, and makeup artist before launching her own accessories line KD Chic in 2014. Her path to dog grooming was inspired by her own Yorkichon named Chloe. Styling Chloe to match her own eccentric vibe inspired Krista to attend The Central Jersey Grooming Academy and complete her certification for six months of hands-on training. She then moved to LA to pursue a career in dog grooming in July 2019. She was fortunate to mentor under the well-known groomer Huber Pineda. When the pandemic hit and things became challenging financially, she decided to relocate and headed for Portland to look to her next endeavor .
Krista joined Coats & Tails in June of 2020. They gave her refuge to help hone in her skills and the chance to transform dogs with jaw dropping color executed to perfection. Krista has always had a love for animals. |
