Christine is a Fulbright doctoral candidate in the Interdisciplinary PhD program at the University of Washington. Her research explores how to promote evidence uptake in healthcare policy and practice, drawing on fields including communication, behavioral science, implementation science and public policy. Additional interests include how researchers can better communicate and collaborate with non-researchers across disciplinary boundaries. Before starting her PhD, Christine worked in communications at British Columbia’s provincial public health authority, supporting evidence-based clinical policy and health system partnerships. Before that, Christine worked on Cities Changing Diabetes, a global program initiated by Novo Nordisk to address social determinants of diabetes through cross-sector partnerships between researchers, municipalities and communities. Christine holds an MA in Communication from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and a Bachelor’s in Journalism from Carleton University in Ottawa.
