Hello! My name is Christa Davis and in 2020 I graduated from Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry. After working in an environmental inorganic chemistry lab for about a year I moved back to Denver where I worked in Leprino Foods corporate chemistry lab for a year. I have been in the pretreatment field for 3 years and I am currently a IP Specialist I at South Platte Renew. 

When I'm not at work, I greatly enjoy snowshoeing, gardening, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
