Krysta is ordained clergy in The United Methodist Church. She served congregations in Morgantown and Charleston for ten years before leaving the pulpit in October of 2023 to join the team at the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy. Krysta’s passion is to bridge theological thinking with non-profit administration, which she does for the West Virginia Faith Collective and the Incarnation Institute for Sex and Faith. Krysta also responds to “Director of Chaos” and “Goddess of Details.” She spends her time ignoring pleas from her children to be “less cringe” by dancing badly to pop music and retelling Bible stories at the dinner table with wild hand gestures and a healthy amount of cursing.
