Christy grew up in the rural northeastern town of Hampton, New Jersey. After graduating high school, Christy's love of country music prompted her to strike out on her own and move to Nashville, Tennessee where she attended Belmont University. During her time at Belmont University, Christy took advantage of all Belmont had to offer. She majored in Music Business as part of the renowned Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business program and served in leadership roles on numerous boards helping to enrich the student body experience. Moreover, as a sophomore in college, Christy's desire to begin working in a professional setting guided her to a unique opportunity to work for a boutique public relations firm on the world-famous Music Row. Once Christy completed her Bachelors of Business Administration in 2006, she decided to move to Myrtle Beach in order to join her family's restaurant enterprises, whom had relocated to the Grand Strand from New Jersey. Early on in 2012, Christy decided to leave the family business to embark on a career in the financial services industry where she worked for a small independent RIA firm. After nearly two years, Christy gained several abilities to help clients understand their financial position and ultimately see their fiscal goals recognized. From this point forward, Christy was presented with the opportunity to join Carolina Wealth Advisors where she is now a partner in the firm. Since joining Carolina Wealth Advisors, Christy has continued to expand upon her aptitudes by obtaining her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Chartered Financial Consultant® designations.

As family is such an integral part of Christy's life, she feels fortunate to be surrounded by family, especially her husband Hans, their son Logan and, their pampered dogs, Whiskey & Bravo. Christy also enjoys cooking, reading, and, painting still-life portraits while still enjoying the country music that inspired her ambitions.
