“I’ve heard people say, too much of anything is not good for you, baby, but I don’t know about that.” – Barry White
Christina has used the term “home” to describe places as diverse as Texas, Kuwait, Nashville, Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and now Washington, D.C.’s vibrant U Street Corridor. Having spent six years in the Middle East she has traveled extensively throughout the world, learning sometimes the hard way how to integrate different cultures into both her personal and professional life.
A graduate of Vanderbilt University, she started her career in sports communications focused primarily on multicultural outreach and initiatives. She has worked in Major League Baseball for both the Houston Astros and our home team, the Washington Nationals, supporting marketing initiatives, community outreach and media relations. During her tenure in the MLB she managed multi-cultural campaigns including outreach to Spanish-speaking media, fans and community leaders. She has a proven track record of developing successful communications programs across the region, having accessed a multitude of demographics in a variety of communities.
She joined the LRA team in July 2010 and developed a quick understanding of hospitality and large-scale events. She managed media outreach for the 2010 FotoWeekDC photography festival, earning it groundbreaking accolades and global exposure. In addition, she currently manages accounts for the Matchbox Food Group restaurants in Chinatown, Capitol Hill and Rockville, MD.
Christina has always had a supersized appetite for life, traveling, and all things food! She prides herself in always pushing boundaries and expectations, ultimately pursuing the ‘next best thing.’
