She went on to attain many personal and professional achievements. Following graduation, Christina worked as a Case Manager/Counselor at a residential facility for homeless veterans. She was then hired privately to design, develop, and facilitate as the CEO of a non-profit faith-based organization. Creating a 19 bed residential Veteran's facility offering a wide variety of services to include a holistic approach to life recovery, was an exciting experience in her career. Going on to work as a counselor at a residential rehabilitation facility and focusing on mental health, behavioral health, and drug and alcohol is one of her most favorite of all professional accomplishments.

As a true free spirit, Christina enjoys kayaking, mudding in her lifted '77 Chevy truck, riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers, fishing, sleeping under the stars, museums, amusement parks, dancing, traveling, furthering her education, reading, motivational speaking, thinking, and more- as long as it involves spending time with her son!
Discovering true love and happiness in her child, the answers to life's questions in her education, and fulfillment in her career, Christina finally found her serenity.
