About Christine

Christine’s story is rooted in resilience: choosing to keep moving forward, creating opportunity after adversity, and using every hard-won lesson to help others see what is still possible.

Still standing, and making room for others to stand too.

Christine knows firsthand that a person’s past does not have to define their future. After incarceration and the barriers that followed, she rebuilt her life through determination, meaningful work, and an unwavering belief that a second chance can become a new beginning.

Her journey has included building a successful business, earning major contracts, supporting transitional housing work, and continuing to serve people and communities navigating their own setbacks. Each chapter has strengthened her commitment to practical opportunity, dignity, and hope.
