A graduate of NYU with a Degree in Finance and International Business, she also trained at the Institute for Culinary Education. A personal and professional highlight was when Christine made mamoul with Martha Stewart. Christine loves to travel while enjoying and sourcing new products in her capacity of Culinary Director. Her husband and both of her children work in the family business. When Christine is not at one of the Sahadi’s stores, she can usually be found enjoying a meal with her family or on her yoga mat.
