Christina De Jong

Christina was the Senior Coordinator of Adult Literacy; in this role, she coordinates programming for adult learners primarily looking to improve English Language abilities. Her role works dynamically with the Adult Education team to structure classes and registration processes, monitor program metrics, and develop strategies to reach learners in the immigrant and refugee communities. In 2006, Christina’s initial experience in Adult Education took her to South Korea as part of a student exchange program where she tutored other University students in English. Since then, she has interwoven her experience in education both in the K-12 sector and Adult Education, where her work has been primarily serving students from immigrant and refugee communities, as well as other underrepresented communities. She also has education experience working in Peru.

Christina has extensive experience in education in varying capacities from teaching students with wide ranges in abilities and age, to post-secondary preparation case management, program coordination, and project implementation.
