"A variety of lived experiences have demonstrated to me the importance of supportive and caring connections - connections where all involved feel seen, heard, and valued."

These experiences led Christine to complete their Masters of Social Work at Ohio State University, with a focus on Community and Social Justice. Today, as the Director of Village in the Ville and The Greater Columbus Network of Villages, Christine has the privilege of fostering supportive community for older adults and beyond. In addition to this role, they are an avid gardener, cyclist, and cat lover.
