Get to know Christine
What's the most impactful piece of advice you've received?
Go first and go positive. This advice is based off of Newton's third law that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I have learned that this is a powerful model for living a happy life.
What was your first job?
When I was 11, I started selling household goods on eBay... unfortunately, I was selling the furniture that was actually being used in our house and I was quickly grounded.
If you could have any superpower?
I would choose to be able to turn into a dog. Dogs teach us how to enjoy the simple things in life, love unconditionally, and fight for what you believe in (food, ear scratches, walks outside).
