Christie grew up in La Palma, CA, the smallest city in Orange County, and graduated from FiDM in 2003 with an AA degree in Merchandise Marketing. She married her high school sweetheart in 2004. With over 18 years of experience in the casino industry, Christie has spent the last decade at Mark-it Smart, where she truly feels like part of one big family. She loves the collaborative, supportive environment and the fun, dynamic nature of her work.

In 2021, Christie and her husband Jason, along with their three miniature dachshunds, relocated to North Fort Worth, Texas. They are a proud billet family for their local junior hockey teams, the Lone Star and Texas Brahmas—an experience she describes as a blessing and an honor, as it allows her to support young athletes chasing their dreams.

Hobbies: I love traveling the world with my husband of 21 years (my favorite trip was Ireland & England), watching and attending hockey (especially Brahmas!), football and baseball games and spending time with our three miniature dachshunds.

Something Fun/Interesting Fact: I’m trying to attend a hockey game in every U.S. and Canada arena, I’m currently at 11 or 12 and every year I attend the Indy 500 with my dad, it’s a special trip for both of us.
