BIO

Krista has lived in Sleepy Hollow with her two young kids and husband since Patch launched here in 2009, writing up local businesses in the listings. Since then, she's written the Mom Spelled Backwards columns, reviewed Movies Made Here, interviewed store owners for the Shop Talk series and much more. She's honored to now be the local editor of Sleepy Hollow-Tarrytown and Ossining-Croton, forging deeper connections with these rivertown communities she so loves.

Before Patch, Krista wrote a few published novels, taught writing courses at NYU and Gotham, and even owned/operator an arts lounge/wine bar in Brooklyn for five years – the place she used to think she'd live forever, until she found her way to the Tarrytowns.
