Welcome. I'm excited to meet you!

Hi, I'm Christina! If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re looking for a partner who can help you grow your organization with intention and heart. 

Maybe you need:

• A strategic communicator who can shape narratives that inspire and shift culture
   
• An operations partner who knows how to build internal systems that actually work
   
• Someone who can help you grow your organization—without losing your mind, your mission, or your momentum
   

Good news: you're in the right place.

I wear a few hats, and I wear them well. I’m a fractional COO, fundraiser, and communications director working with nonprofits, social enterprises, and collaborative funds that are ready to scale their impact and sharpen their voice. My sweet spot is helping mission-driven teams at inflection points lead with intention, communicate with clarity, and build strong, soulful systems that support real growth.

On the communications side, I’ve helped a $50M collaborative fund craft its public presence from the ground up. I’ve consulted on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, worked with artists like Grammy-winning musician Miguel to spotlight urgent social issues, and supported nonprofit leaders in getting their stories into outlets such as The New York Times, LA Times, Forbes, and Ms. Magazine.

On the operations side, I’m a Principal at The Big Lil, where I offer fractional COO services to organizations in moments of growth or transition. Whether it’s streamlining back-end systems, clarifying decision-making, or untangling financial chaos—I help leaders build infrastructure that matches their ambition and their values.

This isn’t theory for me. I co-founded the national nonprofit Freedom for Immigrants, scaled it to 26 states, passed landmark legislation, raised over $10M, and built a 7,000-person volunteer network. I also founded Rewrite the BiLine, a social enterprise reshaping narratives on bi+ people and non-nuclear families in film, television, and the news. I’ve lectured on social entrepreneurship at Stanford University, and held director and residency roles at USC’s Marshall School of Business and UCSD’s Rady School of Management.  Currently, I am on the board of It Gets Better.

In short: I know how to build things. I know how to help teams navigate growth with grace. And I know how to make sure the right people hear about and invest in the good work you’re doing!

If you’re looking for a fractional partner who brings both structure and passion, I’d love to connect.
