Christine was a runaway and a high school dropout. She was out of school for a full year and then went back to an alternative high school. In 1999, she took an internship at EVC’s Doc Workshop and was hooked immediately. While high school didn't engage Christine, EVC did. She was never late, never missed a day, and came back the next year for EVC's advanced program, YO-TV. That year she produced Tough On Crime, Tough On Our Kind, an award-winning documentary on juvenile justice that premiered at the Human Rights Film Festival. After graduating from EVC, Christine came back as an instructor and taught the DocuLab youth workshop for Time Warner and an after school workshop sponsored by the United Way. In 2005, she gradated Magna Cum Laude with a BA degree in Media Studies from Hunter College. In 2007, she taught a documentary workshop for youth in Soweto, South Africa. In 2008 she will receive her Masters from the Comparative Ethnic Conflict program at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Christine is now on staff at EVC full time as Manager of Documentary Workshop.
