A Dutchess County native, Christine holds a B.S. in Forestry from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY and spent the early part of her career working on issues ranging from hazardous waste site identification to non-point source pollution to land conservation. Since she often found herself having to raise the funds necessary to support many of these programs, she decided to shift focus and concentrate her energies full-time on raising the monies needed to fund the important work of non-profit organizations. As a result she now has almost 20 years of experience in fund development and communications, holds the CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive) credential.- the only internationally recognized, professional credential for fundraising professionals - and has raised millions of dollars for private education, religious work, social services and environmental issues throughout the Hudson Valley.
