Kristan is a graduate of Emory’s Piedmont Project and is available to work with faculty and students across campus as needed on environmental and sustainable development research and teaching projects.

Kristan was trained as an ecologist and earned her BS from the Institute of Ecology (known today as the Odum School of Ecology) at the University of Georgia. Her field experience includes studying jellyfish as potential environmental indicators for the Florida Bay and tracking mice to study habitat fragmentation at the Savannah River Ecology Lab (SREL).
