Kristy relocated to Lake Dallas in 2018 and has been a community cheerleader from the day she made LD home. Kristy created a community Facebook group, Lake Cities Area Buzz that notifies residents of events and local needs and she used that page to serve as a community organization platform that allowed folks to get involved in programs Kristy created throughout the community. That passion and success gave birth to Lake Cities HOPE. It has been a life long desire to establish a nonprofit to help and empower those in her own community. The support from the lake cities allowed that to bloom. Kristy is a 911 dispatcher, serves on the Lake Dallas City Council and is Mayor Pro Tem. Kristy is blessed to have one daughter, Kaitlyn and currently shares her home with 3 rescued pups - Snickers, Oreo and Tucker, the Texas Tripod.
