Welcome. I'm excited to meet you!

Hi, I’m Christina. I help foundations, nonprofits, and social enterprises craft strategic communications, launch public-facing campaigns, and build relationships with the media to shift culture and drive meaningful change. Whether it’s writing and placing op-eds, designing websites, or shaping messaging that moves people to action, I specialize in turning big ideas into impactful narratives.

Through my independent consulting practice, I partner with organizations to develop and execute comprehensive communications strategies. I’ve worked with a $50 million collaborative fund to build its public presence from the ground up, served as a script consultant on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, and collaborated with artists like Grammy-winning musician Miguel to elevate urgent social issues. My writing has appeared in The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, InStyle, Forbes, USA Today, and more, and I’ve helped nonprofit leaders, academics, and artists publish op-eds in The New York Times, Salon, San Francisco Chronicle, Ms. Magazine, Inside Philanthropy, and other major outlets. I also lead Rewrite the BiLine, a social enterprise reshaping narratives on bi+ people and non-nuclear families in film, television, and the news.

Previously, I co-founded and led Freedom for Immigrants, growing it into a national nonprofit operating in 26 states to abolish immigration detention. I helped draft and pass landmark state and federal policies, raised over $10M in funding, and built a movement of over 7,000 volunteers. I’ve also trained emerging social entrepreneurs at UCSD Rady School of Management as their first Social Entrepreneur in Residence and at USC Marshall School of Business as the Managing Director of their center on social enterprise.

In addition to fractional communications consulting, I also provide fractional operations leadership and strategy consulting as a Principal at The Big Lil, helping mission-driven organizations navigate transitions, strengthen internal systems, and scale their impact.

I know firsthand how exhilarating—and challenging—it is to build and grow an organization. Whether you need a fractional communications lead, support with media strategy, or expert guidance on operations and growth, I’d love to connect.

I can’t wait to meet you and help you and your organization thrive!
