My Name is Christine

Christine is a Stanford University graduate, born and raised in New York. She is a food and beverage marketer and former event planner with 25+ years experience in hospitality. After a life-shaking heart attack at the age of 37, she took her questions about the meaning of life to the road and criss-crossed the country on what she called her, “I heart adventure” tour. A lot of hugging later – and a little too much “eat, drink + be merry” – she landed in her new home of Charlotte, NC. She gave up alcohol after her 40th birthday and is now celebrating 5+ years alcohol-free.   

Christine lives on the foodie side of town with her son Ashton (2+) and her sweet pup, Charlotte. In her not-so-free time she enjoys weekend escapes, creative writing, learning how to cook, whipping up new mocktail recipes and crafting beautiful non-alcoholic drinks. She has turned her passion into a profession as a sober influencer, digital creator, NA consultant and founder of, ON THE MOCKS: a supportive alcohol-free community, marketing platform + virtual marketplace. 

As a single mom, stigma fighter and sober warrior, Christine is on a mission to make others feel less alone as they question their relationship with alcohol. Giving up alcohol doesn’t mean giving up fun. The party is just getting started.
