A native of Freeport, Christy Sosnowski brings an extensive background of experience to her role.
Following high school, Christy spent a year abroad in Australia as a Rotary Youth Exchange student, and graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor’s degree in public relations.
For five years Christy worked at Honeywell, in Freeport, as a Communications Specialist before moving to Detroit, MI with her husband. She then served as Business Communications Integrator for General Motors. After three years in the Detroit area, she and her husband returned to Freeport where they started a family and for Christy, her own consulting business, CLS Communications.

She brought many new events to the area and became known for having the best entertainment in town on any given weekend.
