After graduating in 1989 with a B.S in Geology, she began working as a full time Hydrologist in Augusta, eventually transferring to the Albany/Troy, N.Y. offices in 1991 and co-authoring multiple national water use reports. Her current role was Project Manager for the effort to modernize the national USGS water-use database. Her tenure with the USGS totaled 38 years. Krissi enjoyed playing strategy board games as well as computer games. She enjoyed all things Disney, was an avid pin trader, a Figment (of the imagination) fan, and often visited Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
