Christine Ege Christine’s early experiences with travel and diverse cultures sparked a lifelong passion for connecting across backgrounds. By age 14, she had lived in various parts of the U.S., forming friendships with people from many cultural communities. This led her to earn degrees in Russian, German, and French Languages and Literatures, including post-graduate studies in interpreting and translation at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. After several years in Norway, Christine and her husband, Steve, settled in Texas, where they have dedicated themselves to numerous volunteer roles. Since 2013, Christine has been a leader with March of Remembrance Texas, passionately advocating against modern-day antisemitism, and she also serves as executive director for a local anti-trafficking organization, where she shares thousands of homemade cookies with the community each year.
