Bio
Sophia Hashmey
I can wholeheartedly say that Christy has touched the lives of Highlands residents through the generations and led them masterfully. We could not have asked for a better teacher, mentor, and friend to help us grow throughout the tough challenges middle and high school bring. Your guidance, kindness, and energy have sparked a new generation of leaders and laid the foundation for so many to come. She inspires us still by continuing her journey to help and encourage community growth on an even wider scale! Most importantly, Christy taught us to stick together and have fun with the work we do :). I could not be prouder to have had a mentor like her.

Christy is a reliable and creative leader and great to work with. Under the immense time and financial constraints of festival production, she remains calm and goal-oriented. Christy is able to harness the wide ranging contributions of an entire community to make an event not only for the people, but of the people.
