Spotlight Winner
Christy is a financial advisor for Edward Jones investments! In early 2017, she and her family moved from California so they could enjoy the slower pace of life the Black Hills offers. The decision challenged her to think about what she really wanted from her career and professional life, and she realized that teaching was no longer the answer. Twelve (12) years of teaching high school and five (5) as a professor had left her burnt out and Christy felt that the field has robbed her of the time and opportunity to provide meaningful help to her students. After talking to a friend, Christy decided to make the leap and go to Edward Jones and she is SO grateful. She loves her job!
Christy has been married to her wonderful husband Joe for 14 years and have two (2) awesome boys. Eric is 10 and Adam is 8. They also have a cat named Elvis who thinks he is a dog, and a horse named Bug.
Christy enjoys riding horses and has recently returned to the show ring! As a family, the Hawthornes love to fish and enjoy spending time in the hills hiking, biking, and hunting.
“I love helping others! Helping others improve their lives and achieve their goals is one of my biggest drivers.”
