About me
Christina joined the iCivics team in June of 2021 and serves as the Director of Business Development. She is a dedicated advocate for rigorous and inclusive civics education, an expertise that led her to speak on engaging young women in civics at President Obama’s United State of Women conference in 2017.
Prior to joining iCivics, Christina served as the Program Manager for Blueprint Initiatives at Baltimore City Public Schools, where she launched and led BMore Me, an initiative grounded in inquiry-driven, community-responsive, and standards-aligned Social Studies curriculum for grades 6-11. Her leadership extended to the design and implementation of the BMore Me Speaker Series, Student Showcase, BMore Me Club, and both Teacher and Student Fellowships. She also co-designed a Student Ambassador program utilizing improvement science and co-led the Literacy Networks’ Teacher Fellowship on Virtual Engagement during the pandemic. Before her transition to the district’s Office of Teaching & Learning in 2018, she taught middle and high school social studies for nearly 12 years. Her excellence in the classroom was recognized with the New Teacher of the Year Award (2008), Teacher of the Year Award (2010), a Prince William County Achievement Award (2011), and the Virginia Lottery’s Super Teacher of the Year (2013). Her career began on Capitol Hill as a member of the legislative teams for the late Senator Paul Wellstone and Senator Tammy Baldwin, focusing on education and domestic policy. Additionally, she served as a federal policy analyst and teacher-in-residence with Teach Plus, supporting teacher engagement in the Every Student Succeeds Act.
In her free time, she enjoys live music, starting—and occasionally finishing—books, and taking walks around her beloved Baltimore with her rescued Kuwaiti dog, Caroline. She also treasures trips to the beach and spending quality time with her friends and family.
