While Christine has enjoyed the chance to work in several interesting industries throughout her career, the common thread for her has always been marketing and communications. She enjoys seeing how communications can bring people together to share ideas, news, conversations, thoughts, discoveries and more. In her work with the diocesan communications department, she’s worked to create those connection channels for all 120 worshipping communities through strategic planning, integrated communication and new opportunities to bring everyone together as a diocese.
When she’s not working, Christine enjoys spending time with family and friends, cheering on her favorite (usually underdog) sports teams, reading, doing just about anything outdoors and, above all, enjoying time with her dog, Bentley.

Summerlee joined the diocesan staff in August 2011 as a youth ministry coach and assistant to the communications coordinator before assuming the communications coordinator position in 2013. Prior to her time at Diocesan House, she attended Davidson College, graduating with a BA in English, and served three years as a high school English teacher in Northampton County as a member of Teach for America. Summerlee was born in Toledo, Ohio, and raised in Cleveland, and she will gladly explain to anyone who will listen why her home state is an awesome place.
Summerlee is very involved with Episcopal Communicators, serving as the organization's treasurer and leading workshops at multiple annual conferences.
When she’s not working, Summerlee enjoys reading; crocheting; snuggling with her dogs, Cali and Vail, and her still-sorta-feral cat, Persephone; playing involved board games; and obsessing over her vegetable garden. She lives in Cary with her fiance, Jay, and attends St. Paul's in Cary, where she plays in the handbell choir.
