With 18 years of clinical experience, she has worked to enhance the function and independence of children and adults with various physical, cognitive, and developmental disabilities in acute inpatient rehabilitation, home health, acute care, outpatient, educational, and most recently, private practice settings.

She enjoys identifying the meaningful activities and goals in the lives of her clients and their families and enhancing their ability to reach their greatest potentials in their natural contexts. Christina initially developed Child Inspired, LLC in partnership with artist John Donato after her young son faced a life-threatening illness and hospitalization. Christina was profoundly impacted by this experience with her son. Based on her professional background in medical and educational settings, combined with her passion as a family advocate, she was inspired to develop developmentally-appropriate, child-centered tools that would help children visualize their progress throughout medical journeys. Child Inspired's outreach work to help children and families facing medical challenges is now driven by the Get Well Map Foundation. This non-profit organization creates and distributes child-centered tools and resources and works to provide collaborative training to pediatric medical teams, in order to integrate medical education tools into pediatric healthcare experiences and interdisciplinary discharge planning processes.
