Originally from the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains, Christina Funk spent college and several working years on the East Coast before moving to Burlingame in 2010 with her husband, Jamie.

The busy mom of two kids at Washington - Caitlyn a fourth grader and Conor a third grader - Christina has made volunteering in her local community a priority. In addition to serving on the PTA and spending several years on the board at the Burlingame Library Foundation, she is in her second year as Washington's BCE Site Director. Before taking a break from her professional career, the Duke University graduate spent 12 years in corporate sales.

Christina decided to take on the critical job of Site Director to help communicate the important role that BCE plays for each student. "Washington is a special community and wants to be involved in helping our children. I'm excited to communicate the importance of BCE and why it desperately needs our support to improve the learning opportunities for our kids. Without BCE, we don't have the programs our children enjoy every day like P.E. and music; it's critical."

When she’s not volunteering, Christina can be found decompressing on the tennis court.
