Christena worked in the semiconductor industry for 18 years before transitioning to the non-profit accounting world after the factory closed. She has an AS in Electronics, a BS in Business Management and a Masters in Accounting as well as her CTFA (Certified Trust and Fiduciary Advisor). She is currently the Controller for Wycliffe Foundation (a supporting organization for Wycliffe Bible Translators) managing trusts, annuities, Donor Advised Funds and the financials for the Foundation. She has been with Wycliffe Bible Translators for over 16 years and loves serving people in ministry. Even though she was raised in a church, she came to know God later in life after hearing his voice and feeling his presence through some tough times. She has been to mission trips in the Dominican Republic and Panama and hopes to do more in the future. She loves having the opportunity to serve with GNS and witnessing God work in and through people.
