Bio
David Hoe
I had the joy of having Christina as an intern at Nas Academy. She was instrumental in helping us to better understand the profile of our students through coming up with research strategy and effectively executed them. While there were many things new, what I found particularly inspiring abut Christina is her willingness to ask questions and seeks to improve. Her desire to improve can be seen from the work she produced, with each quality of each piece is better than the previous. With such traits, I believe she will succeed in tasks given to her. All in all, I enjoyed working with her during her internship with us.

Christina worked with me as a Volunteer on the Summer Learning team. She single-handedly created our Summer Learning curriculum for the incoming Minds Matter junior class. Christina consistently impressed me with the level of insight, passion, and dedication she brought to the role. Beyond that, she showed an ability to quickly learn new skills and excel at tasks, even if they were vague. Christina is someone I would love to work with and have on my team in the future.
