Christina left government service in 2013, first founding her own coaching business, Eanes Coaching and then co-founding MindSpring Metro DC, a small firm specializing in self-empowerment/leadership development workshops, and one-on-one coaching for clients who want to improve their overall personal and professional effectiveness. Christina holds an MS in Criminal Justice and an MS in Education. She is President for the DC Chapter of the Association for Talent Development.
