She leverages two decades of direct-service and consulting experience to persuade audiences on racial and economic equity, immigration, financial capability, affordable housing, homelessness, and youth services.

Previously, Christine was the Director of Development and Marketing at the Unity Council. She also served in-house as the Director of Development and Communications at St. Vincent de Paul and Development Manager Community Housing Partnership.
