WHF-PA – Member Spotlight Interview with Christine Simiriglia

Christine Simiriglia

WHF-PA is pleased to highlight the work and accomplishments of one of its valued members, Christine Simiriglia, President and CEO of Pathways to Housing PA. Chris founded Pathways in September 2008 and has been leading the organization since. Her education and career path leading to her position at Pathways to Housing PA were cultivated in pieces over a lifetime. Chris studied International Relations and Russian as an undergraduate at St. Joseph’s University in the early 1980s. She dropped out after her junior year and traveled to Europe with nothing but a plane ticket, a few hundred dollars, and a work permit. Eventually (30 years later), Chris completed a combined Bachelors/Master’s degree online in Organizational Management. During this time, she also studied liberation and feminist theology. 

WHF-PA recently met with Chris to learn more about her career path and the advice she would share with others as a woman leader in the affordable housing development and social services industry.
