State. After graduating summa cum laude with a BS degree, she started working in a youth clinic, which sparked her interest in becoming a teacher rather than pursuing a medical pathway. She relocated to Southern California and continued her schooling as a Noyce Scholar, a highly acclaimed distinction recognizing her academic achievements. After student teaching at Cabrillo High School, she signed on with Millikan, having heard of its strong science department. At the time of her arrival at Millikan, she was Christine Supiping, but married and became Mrs. Bradfield around that time. She and her husband are new home owners in Long Beach and hope to start a family in the not-too-distant future.
Christine spends time outside of school hours decompressing by working out and staying fit. She’s into yoga, “cardio”, and kickboxing. In addition, she has a background in hula dancing, having performed with a professional dance troupe in San Francisco during her college years. Her trademark is her exceptionally long hair, which she has been growing since her freshman year in high school! Surprisingly, she says it has been easy to maintain and does not plan to cut it until either it reaches her knees or at which time she has children, whichever comes first. She’ll donate the hair to “Locks of Love.”
As far as her future, a Master’s Degree is something she plans to obtain and remain a science teacher at the high school level indefinitely. She says, “I love PEACE. It’s a good fit for me. We (PEACE faculty members) are supportive of each other and put kids first.” Christine Bradfield is a great example of the high quality of new faculty joining the existing talented faculty already assembled at Millikan.
