She previously served as the Assistant Company Manager on the new Broadway musical SING STREET and the 2019 Tony Award winning Broadway revival of Rodger and Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA!.

She also dabbles in Digital Marketing and has been the Social Media Manager for an Italian restaurant, Polpette 71, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for five years, during which time she more than doubled their Instagram and Facebook following, while getting to post many-a-food pun.  

Christine received her undergraduate degree in Theatre Arts/Stage Management and Political Science from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA and has completed Digital Marketing coursework at The New School in New York City. When she is not working, she can be found attending Broadway musicals, running along the Hudson River, or trying out new cookie recipes.
