Christy Barrett

Hometown: Lyman SC

I am working to promote a healthier Spartanburg because: the benefits are more than physical, being healthy makes you happier.

My favorite form of physical activity: Walking my dog.

I love Spartanburg because: It’s easy to make new friends.

Other community interests or involvement: Member of Ballet Spartanburg, helped to start a scholarship program for male dancers.

And something random: I have been playing guitar since I was seven.
