Christina came to Shepherd’s Fold in the summer of 2004 as the camp photographer. “During that summer I experienced relationships in ways that I had never before believed possible. That left me with a hunger to experience more. As a result, during my senior year I moved back out to the Ranch and have been here ever since!” Christina exclaimed. Christina has been on full time staff for six years, serving as the Office Manager at Shepherd’s Fold for the past several years. She is a leader in the youth group at First Methodist Church in Tulsa.
