Background

About Krystal Hackney

I work for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management as a rule writer within the Office of Legal Counsel. I draft rules and supporting documents that help to provide protection of human health and the environment throughout the state. I work well with a team and as an individual to accomplish my Section's goals. It is my passion and focus to help protect my community in any and every way that I am capable. My background is in the reporting of hazardous and extremely hazardous materials. This experience enlightened me to how little I actually knew about my community's vulnerabilities and the risks within and surrounding it. I discovered a passion to keep the community informed of what is going on in the industries that surround them and to make sure that they have access to information on how to prepare for the worst-case scenario. I have an inquisitive nature that gives me a thirst for knowledge. I love finding new and relevant training to better my skills as a young professional that will also allow me to provide knowledge and solutions to problems that my community faces in their daily lives.
