Science & Tech

Christine is passionate about the innovation that occurs at the intersection of the arts and sciences.  When working at NASA for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mission, she had an opportunity to assist the Mission Design Lab (MDL) and learn about the power of open data. She led Team Artemis in two competitions at NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge, the largest open data hackathon in the world, and was awarded First Place two years in a row. Christine then launched Hubble Financial at NASA Space Apps with NASA’s Head of Data and now serves as Director of NASA Space Apps of Washington DC.
