During law school, she completed four internships, including positions with the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office, Connecticut Legal Services, and the Rhode Island Public Defender’s Office.

She began her legal career in Rhode Island, practicing special education advocacy and family law with a solo practitioner until 2005, when she joined Coia & Lepore, LLC in Providence, Rhode Island. After relocating to Florida, Christine began working at Seagull Industries for the Disabled, Inc., where she eventually was appointed to serve as Director of Education at Seagull Ascademy for Independent Living, a charter high school for intellectually disabled students.
