Christina Chae is the illustrator and creator of “The Acorn Explorer” series. Christina’s mission is to cultivate a fascination for language and nature.

In 2020, Christina started volunteering for, Econnected, a non-profit organization that provides one-on-one tutors for English language learners. Through this experience, she discovered the joys of teaching and inspiring children.

Prior to teaching, Christina worked in digital advertising at media companies in N.Y. and Washington D.C. Christina’s passion for storytelling led her to create a production company where she produced content for television and marketing campaigns.

Christina studied Journalism at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ.

“We protect the things that we care about and appreciate. For the sake of our planet, it’s imperative that children learn to care about the earth and each other.”
