‍Christine Parker

Christine Parker is a proud Brooklyn resident, who has spent her entire life serving the public’s interest. As a workforce architect, inclusion strategist, and an advocate for economic empowerment, Parker has successfully combined strong organizational skills and financial expertise with her commitment to community outreach.

Parker worked tirelessly to strengthen public programs through the development of corporate and government relations, while serving as Deputy Director of Advancement for The Cultural Museum of African Art. During her time there, she tactically implemented planning for a multi-million-dollar budget. Her desire to strengthen intentional public impact, propelled her to develop dynamic movements in diverse communities, which created meaningful change through Arts & Education.

Prior to this, Parker’s strong business acumen, led her to a role where she specialized in business growth and development for a billion-dollar financial services firm. Here, she provided targeted strategic insight across the board, and developed key public and private relationships to address economic trends. Subsequently, Parker’s culmination of experience in economic enhancement and human capital, prompted her to utilize her skills to serve the community through workforce development and training.


At the cusp of her appointment in public service in job development, she was recruited by CUNY to train dislocated workers through the enhancement and development of key skills. Later, she became responsible for prospective employee placement, where she met and exceeded placement goals. Her work gained traction, and she was later recruited by numerous corporations and non-profits, to support Human Capital & Talent Acquisition divisions. Over the years, Parker has continued to maintain an underlying focus on community revitalization, and sustainable growth through private-public partnerships.

Parker obtained a degree from St. John's University, while pursuing Business Administration, with a focus in economics. Moreover, she later committed herself to professional development by entering certificate programs at New School University, where she focused on empowering disenfranchised communities through the Global Equalizer program.

As a forward thinker, Parker has remained committed to economic balance in the workplace. In addition, she remains active in the community, through her advocacy for small businesses, green initiatives, quality education, and issues related to foster care. Parker also continues to work on coalition engagement projects with NAACP-NYCHA, The American Cancer Society, and Neighborhood Housing Services. Currently, she is in the process of developing an internship and job bank program for underserved youth in the community.
