Profile Biography
Christina Washington is an esteemed STEM Professional, Author, and Educator with a passion for helping others. In 2015, Mrs. Washington founded an education company, Young Scholars, whose mission was to improve academic performance for school aged children. Young Scholars programs initially served children ages 8-14 through educational summer camps and STEM workshops.

In 2016, she added tutoring, test prep, and academic coaching services to the program offerings and renamed the company to Innovative Learning Solutions. In 2016, Mrs. Washington also authored the children's book "Ms Pearl Makes a Discovery", followed by "Ms Pearl's Garden Surprise" in 2017. Both books were written to encourage science exploration for early learners, further serving a broader audience within the community. Activity kits are available for each book so that readers may recreate the kid-friendly experiments performed within the books.
