A third-generation resident of Port Huron and St. Clair County, Kristy is deeply committed to the people, businesses, and neighborhoods that make the region thrive. Before joining the Chamber, Kristy held leadership roles with the WPHM Business Network, the Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County, and Fort Gratiot Charter Township, where she helped support local business development, community planning, and regional partnerships. Her background in real estate, marketing, advertising, zoning, and economic development gives her a broad understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing local businesses. Kristy is also actively involved in numerous community organizations, including the St. Clair County Commission on Aging, Lake Huron Foundation, Lake Huron Medical Center Governance Board, Sanborn Gratiot Memorial Home Board, and Port Huron Rotary.
