Hometown origins
As a child of a law enforcement officer and a stay-at-home mother turned educator, Christina grew up three miles away from Powell in Worthington Hills. The eldest of four, she graduated from Worthington Kilbourne High School in 1995, to then earn her Bachelor of Science degree with Honors in the Liberal Arts at The Ohio State University in 1999, majoring in Psychology and Criminal
Justice. She then pursued her career in policy and technology, living in walkable suburban neighborhoods around Seattle, Washington D.C., Dallas, and Montreal, prior to returning home to Powell in 2015. While away, she earned a Certificate in International Business at the University of Washington, and a Masters in International Science and Technology Policy at George Washington University.

Across her professional life and volunteer service, she regularly develops innovative strategies, public/private partnerships, and policy to transform the ability of organizations and communities to achieve their visions.
