ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Krista
WHERE I COME FROM
Welcome to our family’s journey in Peoria! Since moving here with our children, we have truly fallen in love with this vibrant city. We feel incredibly fortunate to raise our six children in such a welcoming community. We look to being an active part of Peoria as it continues to grow and unite!
MY CAREER
I began my career in Indiana as a Correctional Officer in 2000, transitioning to the role of 911 Director in 2004. After moving to Central Illinois in 2007, I worked as a 911 Dispatcher with McLean County 911. Following a six-year break to grow my family, I returned to dispatch in 2016 and later joined Advanced Medical Transport as an Ambulance Dispatcher in 2021, currently as a Billing Specialist. In addition, my husband and I founded River City CrossFit in Peoria in 2020, and although we no longer own the gym, it continues to thrive in its downtown location. My career experience has allowed me to witness how government decisions impact our citizens, that combined with my perspective as a mother, I bring a unique understanding of our needs and an ability to problem solve. I am dedicated to working with others for our city while ensuring that every voice heard. Together, we can make a positive difference for our families and neighbors.
MISSION STATEMENT
Equality Meets Opportunity
Welcome to Peoria, a city brimming with rich history, a strong community, and a promising future. From a resident of Rolling Acres neighborhood to downtown High St in 2023, I’ve experienced the vibrant spirit of District 2 firsthand. As a resident and having been a business owner, I am thrilled to represent the diverse voices of our district. Together, we can ensure that all Peoria residents have the opportunities and resources they need to flourish.
