Christy Hendricks

Christy is a hometown girl from Advance and grew up watching KFVS12.

Christy was bit by the performance bug early in life after taking dance lessons.  She conducted her first interviews in seventh grade for a History Day project on the German-Lutherans immigrating to the southeast Missouri towns of Altenburg and Frohna in the 1800s.  After a couple of years on the yearbook team in high school, she decided to try her hand at journalism in college.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Missouri State University in May 2007. While in college, she worked for the NPR affiliate in Springfield, interned at KSPR and KY3, and won four awards from the Missouri Broadcast Educators Association.

It was during an internship at KFVS that she realized KFVS12 would always be home and wanted to work for the best station in the Heartland.

When she's not at work, Christy enjoys spending time with family, friends, her church and her two cats: Lucy and Ethel.  She loves talking to viewers and learning new story ideas.  Email Christy
