Christy grew up in Pennsylvania where she earned a Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University.  She moved to Ohio for a job in construction management where she met her husband, Jake.  Christy and Jake have been married for 12 years and together have 4 children.  After leaving the construction industry, Christy spent 5 years as a stay at home mom homeschooling her two oldest children. During that time, she and Jake were foster parents for 4 years through Cuyahoga County and adopted one of their children through that experience.  

After deciding to close their home to more foster children, Christy learned about Cleveland Angels seeing it as an opportunity to continue her passion in a different area. Christy is passionate about educating others about foster care and advocating and supporting children and families touched by foster care.  When Christy isn't taxi-ing her family around, she enjoys reading, running and attending boxing classes.
