Pronouns | she/her/hers

Christine, director of Our CORE Inc., is a founding board member of the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust, a board member of Global Village Farms, and a veteran teacher in Newburgh, NY. Christine relocated to the lower Hudson Valley, via Brooklyn and Albany, NY in 2003. In 2004, she started a character education, life-skills, community service program for teen girls. Since 2006, she’s been involved in food justice & self-sufficiency and then small-scale commercial poultry farming.

Currently, Christine is the education coordinator for Downing Park Urban Farm, a working community farm that grows vegetables, fruits and flowers for local residents. Christine's work with Our CORE engages youth in growing and stewardship projects, food security and equity issues, and distribution of healthy foods into their communities- via coursework and paid internships.

All of her projects are approached with questioning and melding of disparate ideas, tenacity toward the mission, and the weight of organizing around multiple considerations.
