Christina is a licensed educator who has worked in various aspects of public education since 1987. She began her career in Colorado, where she honed her skill of supporting young students with literacy disabilities through a reading intervention approach and curriculum called Reading Recovery. Recognizing that dysregulated nervous systems challenged many of the students she worked with due to the continued cycle of academic “failure” and informed by the link between high school dropout rates and literacy achievement, she worked in various school districts and higher education across N.M. and Colorado dedicated to improving the literacy outcomes of students through grant writing, curriculum design, and providing teacher-centered professional development through her educational consulting business and in her capacities of associate professor and instructional leader.

She received her M.A. from Leslie College and Ed.S. from the University of New Mexico. As an associate professor of education, she taught courses leading to degrees or certificates in education in academia across N.M. at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Before retiring from the public education sector, she successfully ran a non-profit, referral-based, and client case-management program, GRADS Santa Fe, dedicated to removing economic, academic, and emotional barriers of the most disadvantaged youth in Santa Fe’s most prominent public educational system.

Over the years, she has been drawn to deepen her spiritual processes and insights through her Reiki and yoga practice and as a long-time student of the Diamond Approach to self-realization.
