About Christine

I have held the position of accommodations manager at Chautauqua Institution since June 2018. In this position, I assist patrons in finding rental accommodations, support property owners who rent with marketing, and management of their property’s webpage on the Private Accommodations Rental Directory. With hundreds of rental property listings and working with guests from all over the world, each day is unique, fun and engaging.

My previous work experience was as an account manager for Konica Corporation working with national accounts and at Xerox Corporation as an account representative. I received my bachelor’s degree from Bowling Green State University and currently reside in Ohio.

I graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with my master’s degree in organizational leadership in 2006. I’m an active member of the Society of Human Resources nationally and regionally and have attended National Conferences for Human Resources and Talent Strategy. In 2015, I was certified as a Human Resources Professional and continued my education to recertify in 2019. I also completed a certificate program for Strategic Human Resources Leadership at Cornell University in 2019.

Why did you choose to work at Chautauqua? What do you like about working at Chautauqua?

I had been coming to Chautauqua for over a decade, as both a guest and a homeowner, and wanted to contribute and hopefully, enhance the Chautauqua experience.

Current and Former Volunteer or Board Roles

I currently serve on the board of a condominium association in Naples, Florida. I volunteered as a volleyball, track, & basketball coach, digitized the school library, and served as president of the parent advisory committee.

Personal Interests

In my free time, you can find me on the tennis court. I also enjoy traveling and a good book.
