Through our work on OITNB, we became politically involved with issues depicted in the show. Christina supported us in building our voice in the immigrant rights movement. If you’re looking to become an effective agent of social change, Christina is an inspiring and pragmatic guide.


Vicci Martinez & Emily Tarver, Orange Is The New Black

Christina is a visionary and a tireless advocate for justice. Her work for Freedom for Immigrants made an enormous difference in people’s lives and the legal system. Her approach to social innovation is rooted in a deep commitment to equity and backed by a proven track record of systemic change.


Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law

"I've had the pleasure of working with Christina for the past two years and have found her to be an exceptionally thoughtful and effective partner in developing both my writing and voice in the media. When I was new to editorial writing, she brought strong editorial judgment and media insight, helping me clarify my ideas and produce op-eds that ran in both mainstream and funder-focused outlets. Christina also has supported broader communications efforts for the CARE Fund, including launching our social media presence and leading media strategies that resulted in coverage in outlets such as Forbes and The Chronicle of Philanthropy. She is strategic, clear-eyed, and focused on supporting organizations to communicate in ways that aligns with their goals. I recommend her to anyone seeking practical, funder-aligned communications support."

Anna Wadia, Executive Director, Care for All with Respect & Equity Fund

I highly recommend Christina for anyone struggling with the next steps of their organization. I was at a pivotal point, and Christina’s coaching sessions felt like organizational therapy. She served as a strategic thought partner and gave me the confidence to move my organization forward.


Nicole Kristal, Founder & President of Still Bisexual

Christina's a thought-provoking & inspirational speaker & leader. She's incredibly organized & helps elevate any project she’s involved in, whether that's planning a large-scale concert with Grammy-winning artists, facilitating U.S.-México border delegations, or moderating a business school panel.


Mike de la Rocha, Co-Founder of Revolve Impact

Christina is a transformative and empathetic coach. She's a wonderful listener who helped me develop a pitch to secure new funding and gain the confidence to speak to a room full of potential investors. In doing so, she also helped me connect my own past to the future I'm building with API Rise.


Billy Taing, Co-Director of API Rise

Christina advised me during a critical stage of growth for our organization. She is a deep listener & offers an experienced, compassionate & dynamic approach to coaching that makes the problems in front of you digestible & manageable. Through her support, we secured new funding & elevated our story.


Mary Sutton, Founder of Collective Remake

Christina has a remarkable combination of creativity, practicality, and determination that serve her in realizing bold visions. I would bet on Christina to do anything she sets her mind to. If you have her on your team, I pity the competition.
