Kristy Yelle
I’m Kristy, Vice President and the main cheerleader for Palmetto Protection Films! With a deep passion for both the window film industry and community involvement, I am proud to serve as Treasurer of the International Window Film Association and take on leadership roles with the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Grand Strand, and the Horry Georgetown Home Builders Association.
When I’m not working to help grow Palmetto Protection Films or connecting with the community, you’ll find me homeschooling my two boys, exploring all that South Carolina has to offer, or cheering on the Dawgs. I also love crafting and spending time with our dogs and chickens, which keeps me grounded and energized.
