At an early age, Christina knew she was destined to use her listening skills, ability to be empathetic/sympathetic, and ability to create a welcoming environment to help others. She obtained a bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in social work. Ultimately, her desire to enhance her leadership skills and identify ways to uniquely tackle challenges led her to obtain a doctorate in social work management and innovation degree. She has worked in community mental health, medical settings such as dialysis and the hospital system, refugee services with unaccompanied minors, and integrated care. Today, as a licensed master social worker, Christina uses her skills and knowledge to work with clients of all ages.
