About Christen

I'm a Corporate Creative

My Years of Excellence

For two decades, I've been making an impact across industries - including business, entertainment, marketing and philanthropy.

I Yield Results

  • My work in philanthropy has produced millions of dollars in giving and corporate sponsorship. I work with some of the world's most recognizable brands, and have been fortunate to witness tangible results from my efforts


  • My work in social impact has helped to close equity gaps and raise awareness through action for organizations that create change


  • My work in entertainment as a classically trained vocalist and producer has  afforded me the opportunity to appear at iconic music venues across the globe, alongside headline performers. And now, I'm a Tony-Award winner for my work producing shows on Broadway
