Krystal Gatica
I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. In 2023, I moved to San Marcos, Texas to attend Texas State University to further my education. I have done a couple of commercials and modeled for photographers in training at workshops. I am a 1st year theatre teacher but my passion for theatre started in middle school.
I hold an Associated of Fine Arts degree from Northwest Vista Community College, where I trained further in theater with an emphasis on stage management. I earned my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Theatre with a certification from TXST in December 2025, where I continued to explore theatre from a pedagogy perspective. I am passionate about sharing my love of theatre with young artists and look forward to contributing to the community.
