A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from ASU with a degree in Justice Studies. Subsequently, I earned my paralegal certification and started working for the State of AZ. I spent five years with the Department of Environmental Quality in the Underground Storage Tanks Program. I can regale you with all kinds of interesting tidbits about USTs and the contamination they cause, also what ADEQ does to thwart such environmental damage! After my time at ADEQ I moved to the Attorney General's Office, first in the section that represents ADEQ and now in the Natural Resources Section (do you see a pattern?) In NRS I am the only paralegal to nine attorneys, I manage the water cases and assist the nine attorneys by conducting research (historical and legal), writing pleadings and attending meetings and settlement conferences among other things. We represent natural resource agencies of the state, but primarily Land and Parks. I am graduating in May 2010 with my MPA (God willing!) I am really looking forward to this class.

  2. Kristina, you have a very interesting and impressive work history. It sounds like you'll be able to help me become more familiar with Arizona's water issues.
