Before joining our team, Christy worked for more than 20 years in various food and community-focused organizations. Most recently, she served as the Chief Finance Officer at Rural Action, Inc., where she implemented accounting processes and systems for efficient and smooth operations, automated processes where appropriate, and built a stronger, more resilient Finance Office. She also served as the Board Treasurer of LEAP for Local Food for 3 years, supporting improved food systems and food access in low-income communities.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time in the woods and aspires to learn Portuguese and grow more food in the garden.
