Krista Grant Haysom is a mom, entrepreneur, consultant and writer. She lives in Calgary, Alberta with her two kids and husband but she remains a Maritimer at heart.
A former career devotee, Krista says having kids completely shifted her priorities. After her first child, her son, was born scarily premature, she never considered returning to the 9 to 5 world. Today her son is 11, her daughter is 8, and she continues to fit her work life around her family life.
Infusion Communications is her PR/branding/marketing consulting practice that helps small- to mid-sized businesses achieve success through strategic branding, targeted marketing and stellar communication. You can learn more at www.infusioncommunications.wordpress.com. While her main gig is running Infusion, she has also taken the entrepreneurial plunge into product development, and hopes to be manufacturing some really cool stuff very soon.
Krista’s two children are Grant, 11 and Sophie, 8. Grant is fun-loving, intuitively smart, friendly and athletic (hockey and lacrosse are his faves). He plays guitar (in a rock band, no less!). Her daughter, Sophie, is gregarious, outgoing, and articulate. She is a ringette player, a pianist and a dancer.
In her spare time, Krista loves to exercise and read. Her current craze is Zumba. She also begrudgingly runs because so many of her girlfriends do and she professes she would miss all the fun weekends away if she didn't. Her most recent can't-put-it-down-read-it-in-a-weekend read was "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern.
