Read our Q&A with Christine to learn more about her and the class.* **Where do you live, and what’s your favorite thing about living there?** Dublin, Calif. The perfect weather. **How did you get involved in the Green Industry? ** I joined Ewing in 2006 with an Environmental Horticulture Science degree from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, previous experience as a Horticultural Specialist, and a passion for sustaining California’s environment. As a student, I gained nursery and propagation experience at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, and spent time instructing students on plant propagation and served as a greenhouse laboratory assistant and manager at the University of Arizona. I also gained experience as a greenhouse manager for the Interior Foliage Project Greenhouses at Cal Poly, and as a grower’s assistant for Metrolina Greenhouses, Inc. Now, as a Water Management Specialist for Ewing, I aim to increase the use of water efficient technology in the landscape environment. **What class will you be teaching this year?** [**Understanding Two-Wire Decoder Systems**](http://www.ewingeducationservices.com/cgi/edz_edlandingpages.php?course=E0300).** ** **Who should attend this class and why? ** Any contractor who wants to understand two-wire systems, from two-wire system benefits to troubleshooting tips and tools. Today’s two-wire technology is easier to use than ever before and offers easy-to-expand irrigation control system with long lasting benefits. Attendees will learn to identify the basic components needed to install a two-wire system. **What is your favorite thing about teaching in the Green Industry?** There is always something new to learn! **Cake or pie? ** PIE!! Olallieberry is the best, and I have found only one place that makes it well. **What’s your favorite TV show****? ** I am addicted to Netflix and Kindle on my iPad.
