In 1992, Ms. Christian completed her A-Levels at Ballakermeen High School before pursuing a one-year Art Foundation course at the IOM College.

Following her studies, Ms. Christian spent a decade at Burberry Ltd, where she held various operational and design production roles. Notably, she managed international supply chains, departmental budgets, and infrastructure strategies, working closely with international stakeholders and operating at both operational and strategic levels.

Later, in London, she held the position of COO/Head Designer at Melissa Odabash, a luxury womenswear brand located in Mayfair.

In 2010, Ms. Christian decided to embark on a new career path and retrained as a secondary school teacher. Relocating to Northumberland, she taught at the largest school in Newcastle, which had a diverse student body of over 2,600 individuals from various social backgrounds. Through a GTP program, Ms. Christian obtained her teaching qualification in Design and Technology and spent a year as an NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher). Despite her impressive tenure in the fashion industry, she claims that her time spent teaching for 2 years was the most fulfilling period of her life. During this period, Ms. Christian also pursued a part-time Masters in Education at Sunderland University attaining 1/3 of a Masters.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms. Christian became actively involved in government policy reaching those that were in need and emerged as a local spokesperson for businesses and self-employed individuals. She played a pivotal role in facilitating government support and acted as a conduit for relevant information. It was during this time that Ms. Christian's passion for politics took root, leading her to successfully run for office in August 2020.

Returning to the north, she was grateful for the opportunity to join the staff at the NWT Archives, where she cultivated a deep appreciation for preserving and sharing the stories that define the territory and its government.
