Prior to joining the station, Crystal worked as the newsroom apprentice for the CBS Boston station. “Shadowing reporters as an intern submerged me into the world of television news,” she said. Upon her graduation from college, she relocated to Hawaii, where she became a middle school teacher on the Big Island. After a few years, she again returned to the newsroom where she worked as assignment editor out of Honolulu. There she monitored police scanners, helped manage the storyboard, researched and fact-checked reports before they went on air.
However, to her, it seemed like she was uncomfortable with the task given.

Luckily enough, her director and news team offered massive support and eventually, she got her first job as a multi-media journalist in Yakima, Washington. Without hesitating she immediately independently filmed, wrote, edited and produced her own original stories and enterprise reports there.
In the year 2015, Crystal was the sole reporter at a near-fatal SWAT stand-off. For her report that she disclosed to the community about a suspect who allegedly had weapons, stepped out of his house and ran at police, she was awarded first place honors for Live Breaking News Coverage in the Pacific Northwest for the Excellence in Journalism Competition for her ongoing coverage of this tense stand-off. Not many years later, she returned to New England to cover stories in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
In 2017 & 2018 viewers in the southern New England region voted her as “Best Female News Reporter” two years in a row. “I’m proud of connecting with communities around the country. I am humbled by this honor and appreciate all of the support,” she said.
