Hello, I'm Christina, I was born in Canberra and  I still believe it is the most beautiful city in the world to live!

I began my career working in finance, before spending six years working as an economist and food security expert with the United Nations.

I have worked across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In 2013, I spent 18 months with the UN living and working in Syria and Turkey, supporting people fleeing the conflict.

I have also supported Somali refugees fleeing conflict during the famine of 2012.

In the past, I worked as the Deputy Manager of WWF's Earth Hour which saw me becoming actively involved in campaigning efforts to support farmers living in the Liverpool Plains battling big coal companies.

I graduated from the Australian National University with a double degree in Science and Commerce and undertook postgraduate studies in economics at the University of London.
