Christie L. Schmuke

As a St. Louis native, Christie grew up in South St. Louis graduating from Bishop DuBourg High School, then received her undergraduate degree from Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri, and her JD from Washington University. She spent the first 7 years of her career providing tax consulting services for a Big 4 accounting firm, followed by full time private practice for the next 7 years.
