About Me

I am an author and speaker who empowers individuals and organizations to find their superpowers. Stories are the foundation of what we believe is possible. When we connect with the right stories, we can live a life of freedom, success, and happiness with a greater impact on our communities.

Christine is the author of, Blue Sky Morning, The Too Tall Giraffe, and The Day Bert Smiled.

Christine was born with a cleft lip and palate and had over 25 surgeries; her first at four months old. Christine looked different growing up, struggled with her speech, and often missed school for surgeries and treatments. A learning disability added to her challenges and her small size made her a last round pick in the elementary school kickball draft. 

Tired of hearing stories about what people can’t achieve, Christine is now passionate about guiding you through changing your thinking and turning obstacles into opportunities.

With twenty years of experience in the NYPD Christine has seen some of the best and worst of life and achieved the following milestones:

  • Patrol in Manhattan
  • 9/11 rescue worker
  • Instructor at the Police Academy
  • Recipient of the Eliot H. Lumbard Scholarship
  • Promoted to Sergeant in 2007
  • Member of the planning team and speaker at the National
    Homeland Security Conference
  • Manager of 35 amazing individuals coordinating emergency

Christine earned her Bachelor’s Degree from the Pennsylvania State University and her Master’s Degree from the University at Albany. She enjoys exploring her passions for travel, history, photography, reading, and creating community.

With a flair for finding adventure and the ability to ignore those who tell her how to live life, Christine is living a life without limits. You might find her at a movie premiere, cage diving in South Africa, visiting the Great Pyramids in Egypt, or climbing volcanoes in the Galapagos Islands.
