Christina was a serious student who worked hard and thought about the course material. She asked good questions as well. All of these traits (seriousness, thoughtfulness, questioning) will stand her in good stead in any position. Margaret E. Winters Professor of French and Linguistics Associate Provost

Christina and I trained together through the NYC Teaching Fellows and attended graduate classes together while both teaching high school special education at different schools in NYC. Christina is very hard-working and motivated. She constantly seeks to improve herself professionally and puts 100% effort into all tasks, no matter how big or small.
