Agriculture Advisory Board

Christina Zampini currently serves as the Assistant Director of Programs at the Delaware Museum of Nature and Science and has worked at the museum since 2022. With a deep-rooted passion for education and science, she oversees all educational programs aligned with national and state standards. As a proud Delawarean, she is especially focused on finding opportunities that benefit the local community she grew up in, believing strongly in the importance of giving back.

Before joining the museum, she taught 7th grade science in the Brandywine School District after earning a B.S. in "Elementary Education with a concentration in Middle School Science" from the University of Delaware. The desire to teach began in third grade, initially with dreams of becoming an art teacher, but evolved into a passion for science education. Despite having visited the museum often as a child, she never imagined working in a museum was even a possibility until she was seeking a transition from the classroom.

To build the knowledge and skills needed to succeed, Christina has worked towards these goals since she started babysitting as a child. Babysitting transitioned to camp counseling, which lead to coaching high school volleyball to local youth. There may not always be a clear way to get started, but the key is to start somewhere!

Christina believes that while our roles/titles may change throughout life, it’s important to know who you are, what matters to you, and what will influence your life for the better. She hopes to share her experience, knowledge, and insights along with the hands-on experiences that the museum can offer to help each student find their passions.
