Born and raised in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Christine now resides in Canada's other provincial Island, Prince Edward Island, with her husband, their two daughters, and their two dogs. Christine has also spent time living in the UK and Ontario. However, the call of the Atlantic Ocean was too strong to ignore.
