Chrystal Keating grew up in the Bucks County area and attended Messiah College for a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. She also had the opportunity to study abroad at Oxford University growing her love of travel and other cultures. While at Messiah, Chrystal was very involved in residence life and experienced a huge impact on her own life, making it a career goal to one day get back into student affairs. Chrystal is very excited to join the Cairn Resident Life team and experience life at Penndel with its residents.

 Chrystal married her husband, Jeremy, in May 2014, and both are very eager to share their experiences with Cairn’s students. Chrystal is excited by the innate hopefulness that college students have and their ability to see everything as an opportunity for success. She is ready to help nurture an atmosphere of community, trust, and ‘doing life’ together at Penndel.

Chrystal loves food (eating and making it), traveling, being active, listening to music, watching Netflix, and having an apartment full of close friends.
