DACC Staff Spotlight: Trista Crist, Food Service Educational Aide
Trista Crist is in her first year at DACC. She was a long-term substitute in the Food Service program last year. Before DACC, she worked as an aide and was a substitute at Buckeye Valley Middle and High Schools.
Trista enjoys seeing her students grow. “It’s great to work with a student and watch them master a new skill on the job site, such as being independent while working in the dishwashing room. I love watching the students build confidence as they build those skills.”
Trista and her husband, Chip, have been married for 6 years. She has a 13-year-old son named Jarryn, also known as “Bear.” She has 2 brothers and a sister. Her younger brother is an “Irish twin” – he and Trista are only 368 days apart in age. Her family has 2 momma cats and a total of 6 kittens. Luna had a litter of 1 right before Halloween and Sassy had a litter of 5 on Christmas Eve.
When not at school, Trista loves to sit in the sun and read. She also enjoys listening to 60s and 70s rock with her son.
