Not only did this help Krista hone her writing skills, but set her up for success when completing a Masters in Journalism.\\n\\nKrista Webster stops by to chat about growing up in suburban Toronto, how extra curriculars activities and teachers shaped her time in high school, taming the art of retail sales at her local Gap, and her accomplishments in the PR & marketing world.\\n\\nwww.mediapeople.ca\\nwww.instagram.com/vicgenova/'
