A Tennessee native, Christina attended the University of Tennessee Knoxville College of Architecture + Design in 2006. Early in her career as an architect at HASTINGS, Christina developed an interest in the trade tools and technology. Christina's passion and expertise lay at the intersection of technology and the building industry in design technology. She thrives on understanding and improving how HASTINGS brings buildings to life.

As a Senior Associate and Director of Design Technology, Christina is responsible for the continued advancement of design, visualization, documentation, and construction coordination capabilities at HASTINGS. Christina works with project teams to create and implement design technology best practices, firm-wide efficiency and quality of drawings, curation, assistance, and maintenance of officewide BIM standards, and exploring innovative technology and workflows.

Christina is a founding member of the BIM Association of Nashville, a LEED Accredited Professional, and is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). She has been featured on the BIM Thoughts podcast, AEC Disrupters panel on Women in AEC, speaker at Autodesk University Conference, and an active member of HASTINGS Technology and Computation Organization.

When she's not nerding out over architectural tech, Christina can be found trying out a new recipe, throwing a ball with her dog Spartacus, or buying just one more houseplant to add to her collection. Every year she counts down the days until fall, her favorite season when she gets to enjoy time around a fire with family and friends.
