About Christine

I am the executive producer for CHQ Assembly, leading the team that creates online content and live events all year long for our life-long learners. Prior to joining the organization full-time, I spent my summers in Chautauqua as the company manager for Chautauqua Theater Company from 2014-2020.

Born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia, I now call Chautauqua home after many years of touring with various productions. I spent eight years as the production assistant for Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles, led the first national tour of “MasterChef Junior” and served as company manager for An American in Paris. Out of the pandemic, it is a pleasure to continue my career in production from the side of broadcasting.

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

I especially love the lake and having all four seasons of western New York weather.

Personal Interests

My primary interest is spending quality time with my two Bearded Collies, Piper and Miley, competing in agility, obedience and teaching them cool tricks. I also enjoy sewing, snowmobiling, cooking and playing guitar.
