MEMBERSHIP CHRISTINE D.H. “Hello, my name is Christine D.H. and I moved to Hamburg in August 2013 from Denver, Colorado. I am originally from a small town in central Massachusetts with a population of only  6,000. At the young age of 22, I followed a boy to Colorado  and he is now my husband of 16 years and father of our two daughters, Alina (9) and Kyra (7). My husband is a journalism professor at the University of Denver and was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to work at the University of Hamburg. I have my master’s degree in Public Health and worked at a local public health agency in Colorado as a data analyst. I still continue to work on a contract basis for the agency. In my spare time I enjoy biking, swimming, traveling, reading and crafts. I love exploring new things and I’m looking forward to making friends to just chat or to visit many of the exciting places and events that Hamburg has to offer. I also have an incredible sweet tooth so if anyone is interested in trying out the many different cake shops (Konditorei) with me, give me a call.” IMKE R.
