She has worked in the horticulture and agriculture industries for over twenty years. Prior roles have focused on developing and monitoring growing media, composts, and healthy soils with sustainability as the driving force. Her passion for this industry has taken her across Canada and into the US working with and learning from leaders in soil microbiology, health, and regeneration, and sharing this knowledge with growers, farmers, and master gardeners at workshops, conferences and general meetings. After receiving her Master’s degree in Land Resource Science from the University of Guelph in 2013, Christine helped build and manage a soil health laboratory and operated as a private soil health consultant in southern Ontario, working with research or grant-driven projects focused on improved water and land stewardship. Since 2019, Christine has also been a part-time professor teaching in the School of Environment and Horticulture at Niagara College.
