Meet Christina Smith

ETCP Certifiable News: Summer 2022 |

Christina Smith joined ESTA as the ETCP Program Manager on May 2nd. She can be reached at mailto:christina.smith@esta.org. Here’s five quick responses to introduce you to Christina:

What makes you a good fit as ETCP Program Manager?
My blend of industry experience and higher education work. In 2016, I stepped out of live events and entertainment to work at a university. I am excited to use the skills I developed during my time in higher education to drive safety in our industry through ETCP. 

What are your top priority ETCP projects you want to focus on during the next six months?
This is a robust certification program. My top priority is learning the scope of my role and the operations needed to support ETCP. I’ll be working with the ETCP Council to identify how we want to strategically expand the program.

Share your one-minute elevator pitch on why a rigger or electrician in the industry should become ETCP Certified?
ETCP has a deservedly prestigious reputation. Becoming ETCP certified is a clear way to indicate your expertise in your craft and commitment to safety within our industry.  

Describe one takeaway you learned from the pandemic that you will continue?
People are more creative, adaptable, and resilient than I ever imagined. 

What’s your most used productivity hack?
During the last few minutes of each day, I create my to-do list for the next day. This allows me a faster, more organized way to start each morning. 

Meet Christina at these upcoming industry events:
Midwest Rigging Intensive, August 25 – 27, Chicago, IL
ESTA (Technical Standards and Certification) Meetings, September 15 – 17, Westlake, TX
