Driven by an unyielding commitment to professional growth, Christina embarked on her journey with Gatewood Wealth Solutions in 2011, shortly after graduating from college. Determined to provide comprehensive guidance through life's key moments, she specialized in estate, tax, and business planning, helping ensure clients receive tailored solutions to support their evolving and increasingly complex needs.

Balancing a full-time role at Gatewood while pursuing higher education, Christina achieved an early milestone, earning her law degree. Her dedication to mastering financial planning and wealth management was further recognized when she received a national Commitment to Excellence award and was named a Best Wealth Advisor by St. Louis Small Business Monthly¹ in February of 2025. Notably, her expertise in planning software, process improvement, and CRM development made her an instrumental figure in constructing Gatewood Wealth Solutions' financial planning process and Client Care service models.

Today, Christina proudly holds the distinguished positions of Partner and Chairman in the firm. She understands that as clients' assets grow, so does the need for higher levels of expertise, increasingly sophisticated financial strategies, and coordinated execution.

Christina is an attorney (JD) and Certified Financial Planner CFP® Professional, a designation that demonstrates her proficiency in financial planning, risk management, investment, tax efficiency, retirement, and estate planning.

Christina holds her Series 7 & 63 securities registrations with LPL Financial, along with her Life and Health licenses.

A St. Louis native, Christina is deeply rooted in a successful multigenerational family business, which endows her with unique insights into similar clients who engage with Gatewood Wealth Solutions. She shares her life with her husband, Kyle Shockley, and their two pairs of twin daughters, Camille, Chloe, Karsyn, and Kennedy. A fervent supporter of the St. Louis Cardinals’ baseball team, Christina’s passion extends beyond just watching the games. She took an instrumental role in organizing the Cardinals Wives-for-Wishes event, which benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation, manifesting her commitment to community outreach and philanthropy alongside her professional achievements.
