Kristy completed her Open Water dive certification at Kennesaw State University, where she received a degree in Psychology. She continued on with her dreams and became a professional Dive Instructor. Kristy has since become the Dive Safety Officer for an aquarium where she had the opportunity with co-workers to volunteer at a Discover Scuba event for the disabled. Realizing how powerful and emotional that day was for all, Kristy will use this grant to pursue a Disabled Diver Instructor certification where she can help individuals through scuba experiences to achieve the possible compared to the impossibilities in their life.
