Her passion for music expanded to include a love for theater, which she discovered through her participation in the Missoula Children’s Theatre during high school. Although God called her to a Bachelor’s in International Studies in college, her passions have consistently been for music, worship, the Arts, and younger generations. Christina comes to CAST with two years of experience in private piano instruction and eight years as an Upper Elementary and Middle School classroom teacher - including Theatre instruction. She had the joy of directing Once On This Island and teaching Musical Theatre and Chorus during the 2023-24 school year.
