Krista Rauch grew up in a tiny town in Eastern Oregon, making her a small-town girl at heart. She and her husband wanted to raise their two children where biking to a friend’s house was still possible, choosing McCall in 2016. 

Krista has a BA in Mass Communication and a minor in Visual Arts from Boise State University. She has experience as an office manager, executive assistant, and event coordinator. She also brings an entrepreneurial spirit, having operated her own photography and graphic design business for 15 years.

Krista and her family take full advantage of the opportunities our area has to offer. She enjoys backpacking, river paddling, paint and sips with friends, snowboarding, McCall shop browsing, and curling up with a good book. Their family of four has grown to include two horses, 1 gray kitten, 2 beta fish, and a boxer puppy.
