Christine also places a high value on the learning aspect of higher education and believes it helps to develop who you are. She says, “At the undergraduate level, it’s so formative. You get exposed to new ideas, new people. The personal growth part is huge. I really believe that everyone should have that kind of experience if they want.”
Her expertise has been cited by media outlets such as BuzzFeed, CNN Money, NBC News Radio, and Afterbuzz TV.
Christine speaks Mandarin and in her free time, enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, running, and reading history books and biographies. Christine also loves to bake and is always on the lookout for a good recipe, particularly for a tasty butter cake.
