One quality that stands out the most to Krystle is her mother's unshakeable calm. She shares, 'The quality I admire most in my mom is her patience and calm.

That beautiful balance between ambition and compassion is something I hope to embody one day.
'
Speaking about how her mother supported her in her
acting career
, Krystle fondly recalls, 'My mom has been my biggest cheerleader and the ultimate 'momager.' From managing my invoices and chasing payments to organizing my schedule, she's done it all. In the early days, she would come with me to every shoot and sit in the makeup room for hours, just to make sure I was okay. Her unwavering support during the toughest times gave me the strength to keep moving forward.'
Reminiscing about one of her most treasured childhood moments, Krystle adds, 'One memory that will always stay with me is from my childhood—she came home late from work, visibly tired, but still sat beside me to help with a school project. She made me feel like nothing else in the world mattered more in that moment. Back then, I wondered how she managed it all, and now I know—it was love in its purest form. That moment taught me what it truly means to show up for someone you love.
