The Worldwide Women’s Association Recognizes Christina Phillips

Christina Phillips, MS, GSP, COHC, is a Regional Safety Manager, a doctoral candidate in Environmental Health and Safety Management, and an occupational safety professional with seven years of experience across food manufacturing, consulting, and warehousing. She is also the founder of two Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, businesses—SafetySavvyCo LLC and Sculpted Harmony—built around her belief that safety and creativity belong together.

Christina recently reached a milestone as an author, submitting her first book, Clay, Caution, and a Little Bit of Chaos, to Amazon on November 1, 2026, in ebook, paperback, and hardcover editions. The memoir follows her journey from workplace safety professional to pottery studio owner while sharing lessons about silica dust, kiln safety, and glaze chemical hazards that she now teaches other potters.

After beginning pottery in late 2025, Christina saw an opportunity to bring established professional safety practices into a creative setting where those subjects are not always formally taught. Her experience in safety leadership, environmental health and safety management, regulatory compliance, operational risk assessment, incident response, training, and cross-functional collaboration informs her approach to studio education.

Christina founded SafetySavvyCo LLC in 2026 to provide safety education and consulting designed for pottery studios. Its services and resources include studio safety assessments, a Studio Safety Membership, and Clay Club, a video series that teaches children how to work with clay safely. Her work addresses practical concerns such as controlling silica dust, operating kilns safely, and maintaining chemical hygiene when working with glazes.

She also founded Sculpted Harmony in 2026 as a pottery studio where she creates and sells handmade work. Through the studio, Christina applies the same safety principles she teaches while developing her own creative practice. Her transition into pottery provided the personal and professional foundation for her memoir.

Christina has also completed Ruthie’s First Squish — A Clay Club Story, a children’s picture book written for her seven-year-old niece and young potters everywhere. The book is currently in preparation for publication and extends her goal of making clay-safety education accessible to younger audiences.

“I spent seven years teaching people how to work safely. Then pottery taught me the same lesson from the other side of the wheel: respect the material, learn the rules, and then make something beautiful. Most pottery studios never get real safety training. I started SafetySavvyCo to change that — and the book is the story of why.”

Christina earned a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety and Health from Columbia Southern University in 2024 and a Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health from the university in 2025. She is continuing her education there as a doctoral student. Her credentials include the Graduate Safety Professional designation from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals and certification as an Occupational Hearing Conservationist; she is also an applicant for the Certified Safety Professional credential, with her application submitted in October 2026.

As a lifetime member of the Worldwide Women’s Association, Christina welcomes connections with emerging leaders seeking guidance, mentorship, and support as they develop their professional voices.
