Christy Schneider joined Petrus part-time in 2022, and she helps with a wide range of administrative and communications tasks.  

 

Christy's prior professional experience is also quite varied.  Before coming to Petrus, she served as the executive director for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Central Texas for 5 years, and she also spent several years as a founder and owner of a local Austin escape room before the pandemic unexpectedly cut that adventure short.  Other fun facts: Christy served as a missionary volunteer in the Dominican Republic. She also helped start both a coffee shop and a non-profit educational organization.  Christy holds degrees from the College of William & Mary in Virginia and from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.  

 

She enjoys living in Austin with her husband, Barry, and their two daughters.  She spends her free time exploring local restaurants, playing board games, and shuttling her children to their many activities around the city.
