Christine Small

Christine Small has been the Grant Coordinator for the Pet Care Trust for 2 years. Christine strives to provide the highest level of customer service. Knowing that teachers are extremely busy, the experience they have with our program needs to be easy and stress-free.

In her free time, Christine enjoys travelling, Zumba classes, cooking, trips to the beach with her family, and going to visit her two grown sons.
