Christina is a three-time award-winning tech and healthcare innovator, a part-time faculty member at Parsons School of Design Management/The New School, New York, NY, and a doctoral candidate at Thomas Jefferson University, College of Population Health Science, with an anticipated graduation date of 5/2024.

My team of top field experts in healthcare, law enforcement, and fire management and I have been working together since 2012 to create innovative, scalable, and efficient solutions to combat violence against women and children from the frontlines. Through my research, I discovered considerable gaps in knowledge, skills, and competence for those working on the frontlines of this crisis, as well as the laws that govern the required training that must be adhered to. Due to inadequate training, clinicians risk burnout, revictimizing patients, ongoing frustration with this patient population, lawsuits, the risk of losing their licenses for noncompliance, and not meeting malpractice insurance requirements, to name a few.

My courses here include first responder and hospital violence intervention training, developing award-winning innovations, self-leadership, and entrepreneurship.
