Biography
As a St. Louis native, Christie grew up in South St. Louis graduating from Bishop DuBourg High School, then received her undergraduate degree from Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri, and her JD from Washington University. She spent the first 7 years of her career providing tax consulting services for a Big 4 accounting firm, followed by full time private practice for the next 7 years. Since then, she has been splitting her time between her law practice and providing consulting services to a large RIA as their in-house estate planning advisor. In April of 2024, Christie changed her focus and dedicated 100% of her time to her law practice.
