She serves as a trainer and consultant to child welfare and early learning agencies and develops curricula for parents and caregivers. Chris has received multiple funding awards from The Community Foundation of Northeast Florida to support her work and recognition from FAIMH for her leadership efforts, the University of North Florida for Excellence in Program Design and the United Way of North Florida for her work in child advocacy.
