Christina majored in ocean engineering at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, Florida and graduated in 2013. Her love for the oceans began early as she learned to swim before she could walk. “Many of my home school classes were hands-on, such as marine biology, weather, wave and beach erosion, and art, and best of all were conducted right on the beach, where we snorkeled and explored coral reefs.” She was home schooled until age 14 when she enrolled in an experimental high school/college program where she found ocean engineering to be a good fit. Christina is currently working as an advisory consultant at KPMG, a global network of professional firms providing audit, tax and advisory services, in Houston, Texas.
