Mrs. Christina Atkinson

Administrative Assistant

Mrs. Atkinson was born and raised in Bristol Borough – a small town where you either know someone or you are related to someone.  Raised as a Roman Catholic, Christina attended St. Ann’s Catholic School until the 8th grade when she then transferred to Bristol Jr/Sr. High School to complete her high school education.  As a member of the graduating Class of 1992, Christina was awarded a two-year scholarship to Bucks County Community College, where she earned her Associate's Degree in Business Administration and has worked in administrative positions for 32 years.

Christina and her husband Michael currently reside in Levittown and enjoy watching movies, the occasional dinner date, spending time with family, and attending Bible Study every Saturday evening.  In her spare time, Christina loves to read, write, bake, make different arts and crafts, watch the Philadelphia Flyers, and has a passion for all of God’s creatures; especially her fur babies.  Christina’s greatest joy, however, is spending as much time as she can with her children, Nicholas, Ryan, and Ashley.  Because of their three amazing souls created in God's image, Christina became a tremendous advocate for the disability community in not only real life, but through her social media platform on Instagram where she shares about the community with compassion, kindness, inclusion, hope, and real life experiences particularly about Mental Health, Autism, and Selective Mutism.
