In her position as a YC&E intern, Krista is looking forward to gaining real-world hands-on experience in her future career field of event management.
A junior at the University of New Haven working towards earning her bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management, Krista’s experience in event planning stems from working in the Hospitality department at her university and planning events for her sorority. In addition, she has had work experience in hospitality and customer service from her time working as a Charger Ambassador and a Student Manager at the Hazel Nut Café at the University of New Haven.
Originally from New Jersey, Krista has loved being able to experience niche activities that are special to Connecticut like their famous pizza, with Zeneli being her favorite pizza spot. With her university being so close, Krista and her friends love coming to New Haven to explore Yale’s beautiful campus, especially in the early Fall.
