Kallie Springer is the Raw Materials Developer for Speedo North America in Cypress, CA. She earned her undergraduate degree from Colorado State University in Apparel and Merchandising with a focus in Design and Production. After years in product development throughout the action sports industry, she followed her passion for water sports and textiles to Speedo. As a former collegiate water polo player and avid swimmer, this became her dream role. 

Kallie became involved in Alzheimer’s advocacy through firsthand experience of losing her best friend and mom, “Party Marti” Berry, to early on-set Alzheimer’s in 2017. She was only 60 years old, but fought for 5 years from her diagnosis. After processing the grief of her loss, she knew there were other young people, like her, that she could help support and engage in events and education. Over the years, she has attended support groups, HFC virtual events, and MANY Alzheimer’s walks to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s research, as well as caregiver support. As someone who HFC has affected personally, she is excited to be involved with HFC to help others have a voice and feel supported through all the hurdles of navigating treatment and caregiving.

In her free time, she loves to cook, go to concerts (especially at the Hollywood Bowl), hang with her husband Adam and their goldendoodle Milo, and travel to camping spots or delicious foodie destinations!
