Kristy first appeared in H+A as an extra in the Surf Club. She was then later asked back for a 50 word part only. At the audition for Chloe, Kristy was asked to lighten her hair as they wanted Chloe to be blonde.
She was asked to play guest role of Chloe Richards in 1995 and was introduced to our screens when Jack asked her to work on a school project.
