East Tennessee resident and Farm Bureau member Christin Hagenson is known to many as “the memory bear girl.” When she’s not on the clock as a doctor of physical therapy in Knoxville, Hagenson sells her handmade creations – including memory bears and pillows as well as crocheted items – through her Etsy shop, Art-is-Ann Creatives. A recent grad school graduate, she uses the extra income from her side business to help pay off her student loans.
