Krista Bunskoek is a lifelong learner, who enjoys bringing out the best in others and living a rewarding life. She has had many successful and fulfilling careers.
She served the community of North Vancouver- Lonsdale with a 10 year career in politics. She was involved with numerous committees and boards, planned and implemented successful communication strategies, and diplomatically brought together diverse parties (from CEOs, politicians, small business owners and local constituents) to create community collaboration. She served under two MLAs, both of whom were Cabinet Ministers.
After publishing a collection of her short stories in 2011, Krista became fascinated by the then burgeoning field of social media. She ventured into a career as a Content Marketer and Director of PR at a fast growing tech startup company in Vancouver. Her writings about how businesses and non-profits can use social and digital media to reach their target markets were published in such prestigious publications as Social Media Examiner and Social Media Today. She also wrote for local publications like Small Business BC, Restaurants Canada, and the company blog.
Her earlier years were spent teaching English as an additional language. This allowed her to explore, tavel and work in new cultures. She has now returned to this profession. Since 2018, she has been employed as a LINC Instructor at CBAL, a non-profit organization in Southeast BC. She enjoys her fulfilling work teaching the English language to newcomers.
