Background

Crysta has global HR experience having worked with multinational companies with employees in Canada, Europe and Asia. Prior to joining ConnectsUs, Crysta spent 9 years with a successful high tech company in Vancouver and was an integral part in its growth from 30 to 105 employees. As a sole HR practitioner in the company, Crysta understands pragmatism, and resourcefulness. Most importantly, she understands HR for small business - what works and what doesn't.   

Crysta is CPHR-certified, and when she's not working, can be found raising her family, reading, baking, and staying current in the field of HR.
