Meet the first-ever all-female Peanutter crew who are hitting the road in the Planters NUTmobile

Following a nationwide search that began earlier this year, Planters has selected its first-ever all-female Peanutter crew who will be taking the iconic NUTmobile on the road across the country visiting festivals, parades, college campuses, community events and more. 

Christi-Nut, Karishew, and Coconut are embarking on a year-long, coast-to-coast journey to spread smiles and represent Planters while breaking new ground as an all-women crew. 

Meet Peanutter crew member Christina (Christinut)

Shell-o! My name is Christina, and I’m from Frisco, Texas. I recently graduated from Texas Tech University, where I studied Digital Media and Professional Communication. My journey to becoming a Peanutter started when the NUTmobile rolled onto campus and immediately caught my attention as a one-of-a-kind opportunity. I’ve always been drawn to adventure and unexpected experiences, so the chance to travel the country in a giant peanut felt like the ultimate side quest — and one I couldn’t pass up!

Meet Peanutter crew member Karissa (Karishew)

What’s crackin?! My name is Karissa, and I’m from Altura, Minnesota. I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse with a degree in Communications and a minor in Digital Art and Design. When I’m not drawing, painting, or picking up a new craft project, you can usually find me out on a hike enjoying the outdoors. My favorite part about being a Peanutter is having the opportunity to brighten people’s days while embarking on a nutty adventure across the country!

Meet Peanutter crew member Courtney (Coconut)

Shell-o, friends! I’m Courtney from the small but mighty town of Oriskany, New York. I studied Journalism, Marketing, and Photography at Emerson College but most recently, I returned home to work as a substitute teacher and softball coach in the same district where I grew up. I’ve always had a "do it all" mindset, so becoming a Peanutter with the PLANTERS® brand felt like the perfect fit.

The backstory:

Planters says last year's class of Peanutters traveled to 46 states and met more than 160,000 Americans on their journey, all while receiving an annual salary, full-time benefits, generous meal and travel stipends and real-world marketing and PR experience.
