Krystal was born on the island of Jamaica. She grew in Portmore, St. Catherine. She attended a small preparatory school called Our Lady of the Angels, where she fell in love with English literature and writing, and then onto Immaculate Conception High, arguably the island’s
premiere secondary institution, where she fell in love with History. She then attended The University of the West Indies (UWI), where she majored in Media and Communication.

She has written, produced and directed four short films. Her thesis film Learning to Swim (2018) – shot on location in Jamaica – won Best Student Film at the San Diego International Film Festival.
She currently works as a Video Coordinator/ Scriptwriter at a company in Carlsbad, California. Her favorite TV shows are Dexter, Tyrant and Black Sails. She loves the beach, and is constantly writing scripts.
