The Corbett School District has a Business Manager that understands the importance of good communication. Kristy Andrew's favorite things about working for the district are the relationships with staff and teachers. The culture at the schools is like that of a family, and she appreciates everyone's desire to work hard to create a safe and strong learning environment for all of the students. Kristy grew up with a younger brother and their parents in a very rural area just outside of Battle Ground, WA. She learned how to hunt, fish, work with her hands to both create and fix, and also play sports. Her parents and both sets of grandparents are all still alive and married to their original spouses. After graduating high school, Kristy went for a year to community college with a focus on pre-med. The following year she headed to Canada to attend Bible College for 1.5 years. Coming home from Canada, she actually started a junior high ministry at her church. Kristy's mom then gave her a job lead to be a Pharmacy Tech. This was something that was of great interest to Kristy, and she ended up teaching classes! Kristy then went on to New Horizons to teach computer applications. Soon after, a temp agency led to a job at Multnomah ESD as a budget analyst. Married in 2004, Kristy also took on the role of starting a business with her then husband in 2009. Both the marriage and the job ended, but Kristy settled into Corbett's Business Manager position in February 2011 and could not be happier! Kristy is currently finishing up her bachelor's degree in Business Administration as well as becoming a new home owner! Having two dogs and a cat, Kristy loves animals, playing softball 7-8 months of the year on a coed team and one day wants to travel. The biggest love in her life at the moment? The New England Patriots!
