Get to know Crystal:

I'm a proud Canadian and U.S. dual citizen, and as a non-binary individual, I'm an active part of the LGBTQIA+ community. For over a decade, I've been a vegan, and my home is filled with the love of five furbabies: three dogs and two cats. When I'm not enjoying the pool as a dedicated swimmer or hitting the pavement as a runner (I've completed seven half marathons!), I'm often exploring my spiritual side or getting crafty with sewing, wood burning, and my Cricut machine. I also have a knack for organizing events, like the 1,500-attendee Vegan Oktoberfest I once put together. A train enthusiast and a goth at heart, I also love to cook and bake.

 

The best piece of financial advice I’ve ever received is…

“Pay yourself first.”
