Krista Busby, EIT
BS, Environmental Engineering, Portland State University
I am a recent graduate of PSU with a degree in Environmental Engineering. From the very beginning I knew I wanted to work in water and wastewater, so working at Grayling is a dream come true for me! I have so much to learn in this field and look forward to throwing myself in headfirst.
When I am not at work you can find me coaching the women’s lacrosse team at PSU, reading a good book, or hanging out with my old lady chihuahua, Rosemary.
What do you listen to while working toward a deadline?
Italian Rock. I speak exactly zero Italian.
What’s the best live music show you’ve seen?
This is an impossible question! My top three would have to be Hozier, the Ballroom Thieves, and Caamp. Portland is a great place for live shows!
Where would you take a month-long road trip?
I would love to do a loop of some of the main National Parks in the west! There’s too many for a month but I definitely want to hit up Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Arches, and Sequoia.
What’s your biggest ambition?
I want to own my own plot of land one day and grow enough food to have a stand at a local farmers market.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I was completely convinced I was going to be a landscape architect for a solid five years without really knowing what a landscape architect did. I just liked plants.
