Christina Mingle Keller, J.D., M.Ed.

Founder & CEO, SafeTable Solutions

As the parent of two severely food allergic children, who both have multiple anaphylactic food allergies ("FA"), I know what it’s like to:

​

  • Administer an EpiPen;

  • Ride with a child in an ambulance to the ER;

  • Navigate every birthday party, field trip, camp and social gathering;

  • Bake the right treat to ensure a child never feels left out of a special occasion; and

  • Teach children and teens to speak up for themselves, while navigating the social challenges of FA that only become more complex with age.

​

With a M.Ed. in Counseling/Student Affairs in Higher Education as well as a law degree, I have practiced law and worked in a variety of roles at colleges and universities of all sizes -- including reading applications for the University of Virginia. With a team that includes former college dietitians, I enjoy using my knowledge and experience in helping prospective and newly admitted college students with FA prepare for navigating dining halls and campuses.
