Kristie Kraft - Field Services Manager

Kristie Kraft has been with Thurston Laboratories for over 31 years. She started as the office secretary and moved into the soils lab doing sieve analyses, proctors, and other laboratory testing. She then began to work in the concrete lab, processing field-cast specimens for compression testing. Wanting to spend more time outside and on-site, she began working as a field technician. Kristie has worked as a field technician doing concrete, soils and asphalt testing for the past 20 years, and now oversees all Thurston Laboratories field work.
