Splash! International Women's Day Special is out!

  Splash! International Women's Day Special features Christine Reidhead! Educator and Humanitarian, Christine Reidhead, is an Assistant Professor and the Founder and CEO of the Nonprofit Organization, AfrikRising. During Christine's  professional career, she has used her academics to gain several roles in the field of education, starting in 2011, she began working as an Accountant with Navajo Technical University. This position opened the door for her to then serve as a Director of Athletics, Wellness Center Manager and Contracts and Grants Manager with the same university. Today, she now works as the university's Assistant Professor of Business and Program Manager for the Department of Transportation Grant. She is also a Business and Education Department Chair and Faculty Vice President.


Alongside these roles, Christine serves her own nonprofit organization, AfrikRising, which provides critical resources to the children of Africa who face starvation, educational limitations, and health disparities. Whether it is in her own local community or multiple populations across the world, it has always been her desire to help others, especially children. Following this desire, Christine currently sits on the Board for Habitat for Humanity and Family Promise of Albuquerque. She also hosts her own podcasts which focus on nonprofits, advocacy, the Tribal College Movement and sports talk. Outside of this and her career, she works tirelessly in serving as a positive example for her two amazing sons. It is her mission to make for certain that they always know the importance of education and feel the joy of helping those who need it most.

S!: Hello, Christine! How are you today? The world has dramatically changed. Did you manage to go back to the “before pandemic” lifestyle?

CR: Oh, not yet! I can’t wait to travel again. I definitely miss getting out and doing more things and going places, but this will happen in time. I feel this experience has challenged us, but has also made us stronger. I think it’s important to see the good in things and how we can learn from challenges in our lives. I definitely also have this perspective with the pandemic.
