Krause was raised in Falls Church, Virginia. Her father is of half-Japanese descent (from Okinawa, Japan) and her mother is American. She has a younger brother named Nathaniel who is a director. She began her interest in the arts at a young age by studying dance at the Washington School of Ballet in Washington D.C. Once Krause entered high school, dance took a back seat when she started performing in a variety of plays and musicals including Side Show as Violet Hilton, Gypsy as Mama Rose, and Equus as Dora Strang. After high school, she enrolled in the Carnegie Mellon Drama School. Soon after, Krause felt she was ready to start her professional career as an actress. She earned her Equity card by performing in a summer-stock production of Aida.\n', '

She has continued working on stage, appearing in 2013 as Rose in the world premiere of Annie Baker\'s The Flick at Playwrights Horizons, a role she reprised two years later for a second run at the Barrow Street Theatre and later the National Theatre.\n', '
Her first film credits came in 2007 with supporting roles in The Speed of Life and The Babysitters. In 2009, she appeared in the films Taking Woodstock and Toe to Toe. She is known for her work in independent cinema and has appeared in several short films.
