Christina is the daughter of Hallie Bonnell-Thompson, Miss Ohio USA 1987. She graduated Cum Laude from Wake Forest University in 2018 with a BA degree in Communication and minor degrees in journalism and writin. At Wake Forest she was a member of student government and the Kappa Beta Gamma sorority. After receiving her degree she then began her career as a TV news reporter and is proud to say that this year she became an award winning journalist.

Christina is now pursuing her Master’s degree in Journalism at Columbia University and plans to spend her free time freelance reporting on the appearances that she will be making across Virginia, and broadcasting them in the form of her own news segment called Crown Time with Christina Thompson. The intent of her segment is to shine a positive light on her wonderful state while helping encourage more young women to experience pageantry and its wonderful benefits.

Christina began her career as an on-air TV personality at the age of 15 when she started reporting for “Teen Kids News,” a nationally broadcasted news show geared towards educating kids and teens on current events. She went on to work in London, England for a sports production company called Sunset+Vine, where she focused on creating promotional videos for Olympic athletes. She then moved to Paris, France to study international affairs. Christina is inspired by women in positions of influence and leadership in the professional world. She was fortunate to intern for the first female new anchor of CBS Evening News and a 60 Minutes correspondent, Norah O’Donnell, while she was anchoring for CBS This Morning. Norah and her accomplishments, along with her strong team of female producers, have inspired Christina most in her career.

Christina is very passionate about creating opportunities for women and children and is blessed to serve as the CEO of Purposeful Positions, a mentorship program she created which aids young women in finding and excelling at careers in the broadcast journalism industry. The program has a 100% success rate for placing young women in their first job within three months of their college graduation. And since the age of 13, Christina has spent her summers teaching English and math to children living in an impoverished village in Guatemala.
