Christine has been recognized as a mover and shaker in education for over 2 decades. Championing student voice, hands-on learning, and emotional wellness, her unique experiences climbing the ranks from a classroom teacher to a department head and now a building administrator give her significant perspective regarding challenges that exist in public education. A former decorated student athlete and now mother of two phenomenal children, Christine’s ability to clearly articulate lessons learned from her professional and personal experiences combined with her dynamic “hard hitting” delivery have made her a sought after speaker and contributor to publications and podcasts globally. Christine’s own story rising from significant challenges of being a successful female athlete in a decade where it was not the norm, to her time at Harvard University, touches a nerve with her audiences as they laugh with her, are inspired by her, and leave motivated and empowered to be better. As she eloquently puts it…“I am not a motivational speaker…I am a MOTIVATED speaker!”
