Christina Episcopo is a publicity liaison for the City of Elmira.
The City of Elmira is in charge of everything City of Elmira related from buildings and grounds, taxes, chamberlains, City Manager, Mayor, Police, Fire, etc.
Christina's main focus for the city is promoting tourism and encouraging locals and travelers to come visit her great city! To do so she manages and works on the website, creates/edits content for all of their social pages(Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), and collaborates with other businesses and organizations to promote tourism.
She also creates content for different departments in the City of Elmira to help them get information out, connect with the community, and be more transparent with information and updates.
"This is my first time ever participating with NYSTIA! I was made aware of this group by the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce who attended an event and raved about it!"
Christina is a board and trustee member of the Clemens Center which is the local theater in the City of Elmira. She also is a board member of the John W. Jones Board, also located in the City of Elmira. Due to her schedule, She has not been able to volunteer much outside of those boards, but she intends on volunteering at her local animal shelter in the City of Elmira, which she and her family make numerous donations, monetary and items/food for the animals.
She is a social butterfly. She loves making connections so that everyone can help each other along the way in bettering themselves and their jobs! She also truly loves continuing education. She likes to call herself a Swiss army knife of a person as she has a lot of random knowledge and skills she has picked up over the years. If she doesn't know how to do something, she will work to teach it to herself to the best of her ability.
Inside the City, she is constantly working to connect with her community by attending events, volunteering her time on different local boards, helping businesses get their name out into the community and further, and so much more.
Outside of the City, she is a busy women. She dog walks/sits for a little extra income and selfishly to get puppy love out of the dogs she takes care of as she and her fiancé are not ready for a dog of their own. She's also a marketer for Rugglion Marketing which is a digital marketing company which also does videography and photography.
Outside of paid work, She loves creating content on TikTok (@christinas_corner_ shameless plug), volunteering her photography services to her friends to build her portfolio but also help them in their careers or applications. She is engaged to her wonderful fiancé Brian who supports every crazy endeavor and side hustle she gets herself into. Also, they are proud cat parents of their two girls, Lucy and Reese, who were both shelter girls.
She loves listening to audiobooks and podcasts, as well as just listening to a variety of music.
If you ask anyone who knows her, she is really just always moving and grooving! Or feeding/taking care of stray cats.
