​About Me:

Hey y'all!
​
I'm Christine Electra Williamson; I'm a lifelong Tennessean, Data Analyst, animal lover and always a little sparkly.
I'm a graduate of the Master's program at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga,
pursuing my Master's in Business Administration as well as my Certification in Data Analytics.
I'm also a proud alumna from the University of Mississippi, with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, emphasis in Public Relations, and minor in Political Science. 

On June 23, 2018, I was chosen to become Miss Tennessee 2018.
In May of 2019, I was so honored to be chosen as the First ever Miss Tennessee Volunteer! I am so honored to serve in this position and to continue serving the state of Tennessee.

I serve my community to promote my personal platform of Alzheimer's Awareness, focusing on bringing awareness to education, advocacy, and research initiatives going on in our state. I still serve as Tennessee's State Congressional Advocate as well as serving as a National Ambassador on behalf of the Alzheimer's Association.
 I also served as the State Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! In this capacity, I have had the opportunity to go into our state's 5 CMN Hospitals to bring smiles and laughter into the hospital rooms with the children as well as to participate in fundraising for these hospitals.
I love working with my local hospital at Erlanger Children's, (Chattanooga) to help promote the Believe Campaign, which fundraises for the building of our new children's hospital! 
Be sure to follow my social media accounts to see what's new at our local children's hospital and how you can get involved!​
​ I also speak at various fundraisers, awareness events, education events and initiatives on behalf of my platform of Alzheimer's Awareness and on the wonderful things going on in our state's Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, as well as other charitable events.

​If you are interested in booking me to speak at your rotary club, school, or event, see the contact page about how to get in touch and I will get back to you shortly!
