I look forward to the leadership Christina will bring to our executive team and the influence she will have on the future of the department.”

"Christina's tireless work ethic, transparent leadership, and proactive approach will allow her to excel in this new role and I have no doubt she will continue to elevate our program in many ways. We are extremely fortunate to have someone with Christina's knowledge and experience on our team."
