Name: Christy Beauchamp

Nickname: CB or Cheeseburger

Length of employment with PREFERRED: 12 years

Job title and responsibilities: Vice President. Oversee Payor Contracting and Provider Relations Departments, problem solve, prepare budgets, throw tantrums and wash dishes.

What you like most about your job: Knowing we are helping people who are truly committed to helping others has always been the most rewarding element of working at PREFERRED. I love talking to providers and learning from them! Additionally, the people I have the pleasure of working with every day are creative, hard-working … and absolutely, insanely fun to be around!

Favorite pastime: Embarrassing my daughter, Cassidy, every chance I get, spending time with my family, watching football, reading, dancing, martial arts.

About your family: Cassidy is 10 and has more energy than any single person on the face of the planet. She is smart, funny, talented and will one day rule the stage … or the world … possibly both. My parents, “Jax & Coots”, are still kids in their own right; I strive to be as generous, fun-loving and selfless as they are. My sister, Beth, is a Phoenix Fire Fighter (one of my heroes) with two beautiful daughters, Reanne (a singing/dancing/acting protégé) and Ashley (a horseback-riding, special little mermaid).
