Prior to joining JFK Law in 2023, Christina clerked for six Justices at the British Columbia Supreme Court. Following her clerkship, Christina worked at a leading national firm, focusing her practice in litigation, both in court and before administrative tribunals.

Christina holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Victoria, with a concentration in Environmental Law and Sustainability. Throughout her time at the University of Victoria, Christina worked with the Indigenous Law Research Unit (“ILRU”) to create learning tools centered around Indigenous legal orders. Christina also worked with the Environmental Law Centre and as a Research Assistant, focusing mostly in water governance and its intersection with Aboriginal rights and Indigenous law.

Prior to engaging in the practice of law, Christina completed her MSc in Water Science, Policy, and Management at the University of Oxford. Christina’s dissertation took a regulatory approach, examining how environmental assessments can be improved from a multi-stakeholder perspective within the larger framework of watershed-based governance.

Outside of work, Christina can be found skiing, kayaking, hiking, and enjoying all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
