Christina Samore has been a PMI member since 2019 and joined the Phoenix Chapter in 2020. She began volunteering with the Chapter in February 2025 as the Breakfast Meetings Producer on the Programs Team. Christina was drawn to volunteering after keeping an eye on opportunities that aligned with her professional experience, particularly her background producing an internal virtual conference at work. Having already attended and enjoyed the Chapter’s Breakfast Meetings, she saw this role as a perfect fit. This year, Christina has supported both the Breakfast Meetings and an ASU Speaker Event, finding the experience especially rewarding through the connections she’s built with speakers and other volunteers and Chapter members. She enjoys the opportunity for one‑on‑one interaction and the chance to learn from engaging presentations while collaborating with fellow members.
Known by colleagues as detail‑driven with a great sense of humor, Christina brings both structure and creativity to everything she does. Her personal philosophy—don’t say “no,” ask “how”—guides her approach to problem‑solving and has led to impactful outcomes in her professional career, including uncovering key problems in a major multi‑year project and realigning it to be successful. Outside of work and volunteering, Christina is passionate about art museums, travel (Spain being a favorite destination), and giving back through causes such as Andre House, Feed My Starving Children, and St. Mary’s Food Bank. Whether proudly project‑managing her own wedding or completing a writing challenge to write 50,000 words in a single month, Christina is inspired by leaving things better than she found them. She shares a simple message for those considering volunteering: “Do it— it will be the most rewarding decision you will make; the connections are invaluable!
