Trista is the best of the best! :) Born and raised in Yacolt, Wa., she is Takara Bead's youngest employee. Her parents run their own tree business in Clark County which helped Trista learn a lot of what goes into a "Small Business" in and out.  It's was a wonder we got a hold of her when we did.

She has been with us for over two years, doing every job the bosses throw at her.  As Tina's assistant she has taken a big step in the everyday data entry process. 

That's right Trista actually likes to do data entry! I know she's wierd!

Since she is returning to school this fall, Trista was very grateful to find Takara Bead is working towards a telecommuting company. This will give her time to stay with Takara and go back to school full time.  With her story still being written we will see where the road takes her.  Congrats on returning to school.

She is a huge animal lover, but doesn't care for chickens (just ask Peggy!) She has worked at a vet hospital and volunteering at Oregon Humane Society before finding her place here at Takara Bead.  Tina always says Trista accepted the job after she met all the office pets!

Most of you have talk to her either on the phone when placing orders or she has contacted you via email to set you up in our accounts.  She is all things computers.  If you have a question about the website or need to update your account then she is the one you want.
