Credentials

Prior to joining Country Club Trust Company, Christine served as Staff Attorney for the Jackson County Public Administrator's Office, where she administered probate estates, including guardianships, conservatorships and decedent estates — work that continues to inform her approach to the Special Needs Trusts she regularly administers at FNBO Wealth. Earlier in her career, she practiced business and commercial litigation as an associate attorney with Scharnhorst, Ast, Kennard & Griffin, P.C., and began her legal career clerking for the Honorable Peggy Stevens McGraw in the Jackson County Circuit Court.

Passions
Christine's life outside of work revolves around her three boys, which means her days are filled with sports, school activities and plenty of time in the garden. She and her family are rooted in Brookside, the Kansas City neighborhood where she grew up, and that connection runs deep. For her, serving the clients and families of this community isn't just professional, it's personal.
