We are thrilled to have Christy join the Southwest Team! Her first day will be December 16th. She comes to us with more than 25 years of professional experience. She spent the first 13 years of her career with First National Bank of Valparaiso and the last 11 years in numerous roles in development at Valparaiso University. She enjoys creating and building relationships with donors and most recently held the position of Executive Director of Planned and Principal Giving at Valpo.

In her personal life, Christy loves spending time with her family and friends including her husband Derek, daughter Alyssa (senior in high school), and son Tyler (sophomore in high school). Favorite family activities include playing tennis, riding roller coasters, sledding, and playing board games. She also has a spirited black lab mix named Maggie.

Please join me in welcoming Christy!
