Christine is a proud BOI meaning she was "Born on the Island." She was born and raised in Galveston and began working in the island's tourism industry when she was 15 years old as a water slide attendant at the now-demolished Sky Rapids Water Slide at Stewart Beach.

For more than 25 years, she's worked in travel and tourism promoting Galveston. Her tourism background makes her a bit of an expert on Galveston Island. She's written more than 300 blogs on Galveston offering travel tips on what to see and do. And over the years, she's given hundreds of tours for visiting travel writers showcasing the sites on the island.
