Kristin has made a significant impact on Georgia Tech by breathing new life into the Blueprint Yearbook, a cherished tradition that had been discontinued after 2018. As Editor-in-Chief, she not only led the effort to revive the yearbook but also worked to ensure that it reflected the diverse experiences and achievements of the student body. Her leadership in restoring this publication demonstrates her commitment to preserving the memories of Georgia Tech students, ensuring future generations see their experiences captured in its pages. Kristin’s vision for the Blueprint goes beyond a simple publication; she aims to leave a legacy of storytelling that continues to resonate long after her time at Georgia Tech. 

One of Kristin’s most memorable leadership moments came when she held the first revived edition of the Blueprint in her hands. After months of overcoming obstacles such as funding challenges and building a team from scratch, she witnessed students—especially graduating seniors—flip through the yearbook and discover themselves in its pages. This moment not only validated the hard work put into the project but also served as a powerful reminder of why the Blueprint’s revival mattered. It was a testament to Kristin’s perseverance and dedication to creating something that will continue to be meaningful to the Georgia Tech community for years to come. 

Kristin’s leadership exemplifies Georgia Tech’s motto of Progress and Service by taking action in areas that needed improvement and ensuring a lasting impact. Her work on the Blueprint Yearbook serves as a perfect example of how progress can be made through service—preserving student experiences and ensuring that future students see themselves represented in the school’s history. Kristin’s leadership also emphasizes inclusivity, kindness, and creating a space where everyone’s contributions are valued. Through her work, she has helped shape the current and future culture of Georgia Tech, demonstrating that true progress is about leaving things better than you found them.
