 Christina's teaching career spans some of Greater Cleveland's most meaningful and overlooked classrooms. It began, after she graduated from The University of Wisconsin, when she moved to a small-town Illinois, where she taught high school writing, speech, and debate — and a love of finding the right words has followed her ever since. Making good use of her minor in criminology, she launched a volunteer literacy and humanities program for incarcerated adults at the Cuyahoga County Jail and the Women's Northeast Pre-Release Center, an early signal of where her heart was headed. She went on to teach fourth and fifth grade, lead a school-wide Pre-K through 8 reading program, coach Power of the Pen, and teach vocational academics at Cleveland Job Corps before spending 13 formative years at Townsend Learning Center, where she discovered firsthand the extraordinary resilience of injured workers. As a licensed Phono-Graphix reading instructor, she now coordinates curriculum, leads student orientations, and ensures that every person who walks through CLC's doors feels genuinely welcomed and supported. For adults rebuilding their lives after injury or illness, Christina believes work adjustment isn't just job training — it's a runway to make sure every student takes off.

And for the record, she's the proud Nebraskan trainer of a two-time Thursday Thirsty Turtle champion.
