Christina has been Chief Librarian at Vancouver Public Library since 2018, with former roles including director of collections & technology and manager of online information & news. She is fascinated by the way that technology is changing reading, learning and libraries, and believes that each of us can advocate for library patrons and our values through our conversations and our roles.

She is the co-author, with Paul Whitney, of eBooks in Public Libraries: An Evolving Landscape, and is a frequent speaker on ebooks, reading and libraries. In 2015, Christina represented libraries at UN forums as manager, policy and advocacy for the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). Prior to joining VPL, Christina worked at the BC Securities Commission as a website manager, usability specialist and research librarian.
