Read moreBorn in California and raised in rural, central Ohio, Cristy has almost a decade of accounting experience among various industries. After receiving her B.S.B.A. from The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, she started her career at an automotive supplier specializing in JIT logistics and warehousing. A move to Kentucky prompted changes that include a Financial Analyst position at a North American trading company, managing the office and operations of a retail installation company, and as a Senior Accountant for a manufacturing facility.
As a young adult, Cristy experienced firsthand the inequities in the U.S. healthcare system when she was diagnosed with a rare pancreatic tumor that had been wreaking havoc in her life for over a year and required immediate surgery. Since then, her main political driver has been achieving universal, affordable, and quality healthcare for all.
In 2017, Cristy participated in the Metropolitan Louisville Women’s Political Caucus’ Campaign School held at the University of Louisville. However, she realized that running for office was not quite what she wanted but the knowledge she gained allowed her to realize all the ways she could help the women who are running. That’s why she is excited to be a part of the Emerge team, executing her skills and knowledge for an organization whose core values and mission align with her own.
When she’s not busy balancing accounts and chasing paper, you can find Cristy laughing it up at her local comedy club, living it up in Las Vegas, or floating in her kayak on a sunny day. Cristy currently resides in rural Frankfort with her husband, dog child, and pet potbelly pig.
