Christine was a valued Support Staff member in Catholic Education in Canberra-Goulburn Diocese. She started with humble beginnings, working in the text-book room at Merici College back in 1991. Over the years, Christine moved around various sections of Administration and eventually to the Finance Office, initially as a Finance Clerk, where she was quickly promoted into the role of Finance Manager, a position she has held for the past 10 years.
