Kriste Buck
Development Assistant
Kriste Buck grew up in Chalmette, Louisiana, but got washed over to the Northshore after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the home she shared with her husband and children. She now lives in Pearl River, Louisiana. Kriste graduated from the University of New Orleans with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. She received her Blackbaud Professional certification in Raiser’s Edge and Blackbaud RE NXT Fundamentals certification.
Kriste previously worked in the JCPenney advertising department before joining Trinity in 1990, and she has now been with Trinity for 36 years. She is very proud of her husband and two adult children. In her free time, Kriste enjoys supporting LSU football and the LSU 2025 National Champion baseball team.
She loves traveling—especially to Disney World or hiking in the mountains across the country. Kriste recently visited Volcano National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii, where she witnessed the eruption of Kilauea. This truly was a bucket list moment. She has also explored Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier, St. John, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Rocky Mountain National Park, as well as Aspen’s Maroon Bells. In Canada, she visited Banff and Jasper National Parks.
In her spare time, Kriste enjoys crafting and reading.
