Christine is delighted to join the Powerhouse team and share her skills as a grant writer and content creator. Christine, her husband, and their two awesome teen daughters currently reside in North Carolina, where they enjoy a lake-centered life with lots of paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and boating. A native New Yorker (without the accent) and an Army spouse of nearly 20 years, Christine has an undergraduate degree in communication from Cornell University and a master’s degree from the University of North Carolina’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media.

When she’s not spending time with her family, you’ll find Christine sewing. She is an avid quilter, specializing in English paper piecing, improvisational piecing, and quilting with precut fabrics. Her work has appeared in four quilting books and is featured frequently on Moda Fabrics’ Bakeshop blog. She is also a dedicated community volunteer with a passion for community literacy.
