Christa received her degree in Dental Hygiene in 1994. She grew up on Nantucket as did her parents, Dennis and Shirley Liadis. She met her husband Mark after he moved to the island with his parents, Jeffrey and Debbie Willett, in 1989.
After receiving her degrees off-island, Christa returned to Nantucket in 1999 with her husband to start their family. The Willetts welcomed their son Camden in 2001 and daughter Maclaine in 2003. She feels incredibly fortunate to be raising her children here and enjoys the small town atmosphere.
