Continuing her grandmother's legacy, Krystal became a member of the Lincoln High School Honeybees. Following the establishment of Memorial High School, she became a member of the Marching Flames until a medical emergency compelled her to leave the team.
Owning a dance studio has always been one of Krystal's aspirations. She aims to foster a profound love for dance while promoting self-confidence, discipline, and respect for the performing arts. She welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of their dance experience. In 2020, Doll Girls Dance Studio became the premiere studio for multiple dance genres in Port Arthur. Since its inception, Doll Girls has become an award-winning studio through national competitions, with its dances receiving recognition and scholarships at national conventions. Doll Girls has also performed on the collegiate and national level at college and NBA games.
In her adult years, she pursued studies in business, ultimately earning an Associate's Degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Business. Currently, she works as the Human Resources Coordinator for Sempra Infrastructure/Port Arthur LNG.
Krystal has been recognized for her contributions to the community in many ways. She received the 2023 Spirit Award from the Port Arthur MLK Support Group, the Juneteenth Woman of the Year, and Mayor Thurman Bartie named June 5th Krystal's Dance Day in the City of Port Arthur.
Krystal firmly believes that if one can envision it, they can accomplish it. She advocates for a comprehensive education and acknowledges that every student has unique contributions to make to the arts, just as the arts have valuable lessons for every student.
