Kristy is a city government web manager who has a passion for local government, social media and technology. She loves to share knowledge with other govies and think of creative ways to get citizens involved. She is also a bit of a ham. 
I grew up in Reno, and I am so proud of how good you’ve made our city look through your excellent work on the website!
Thanks for the kind words! This place is growing on me
