About Me
My name is Christina Klausner, and I’m a Mendham resident, wife, mother of three, small business owner, and proud candidate for the Mendham Township Board of Education.
A First-Generation Story of Support and Success
I am also a first-generation American, born to Hungarian parents. English was my second language, and thanks to the support I received in my early years of school, I was fluent by third grade. That experience shaped me—because I didn’t just catch up, I thrived. I developed a lifelong love of learning that led me to pursue higher education and eventually return to education as a teacher and mentor. That early support gave me the confidence and foundation to succeed—and today, it’s a driving force behind my desire to serve on the Board of Education.
Building a Career That Puts People First
I grew up in Wayne, NJ, graduated from Wayne Hills High School, and completed the joint Physical Therapy program at Ramapo College and University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. After working in private practice, I recognized the need for broader access to care and transitioned into nonprofit and hospital settings, including Hackensack University Medical Center and Morristown Medical Center.
Rooted in Mendham and Family
When I became a mother, Mendham was the only place that ever felt like home. My husband David, a Mendham resident since 2006, and I chose to raise our children here because of the tight-knit community and exceptional school system—currently ranked #5 in New Jersey. That decision has proven itself time and again.
During the pandemic, while home with two toddlers and a newborn, I saw an urgent need in the community for mothers and children to access specialized care.
That’s when I launched Mobile Physical Therapy, a practice centered on women’s and pediatric pelvic health. What began as house calls evolved into a thriving, trusted practice in Mendham Borough, where I continue to serve patients, teach, and develop community wellness programs.
Serving Beyond the Classroom
My passion for education has never wavered. As part of my professional growth, I regularly teach continuing education courses for physical therapists and have received CEU approvals across multiple states. Whether I’m mentoring other professionals or guiding young Girl Scouts, I’m always working to uplift others through compassion, communication, and education.
My connection to education extends beyond my profession. I previously served on the Board of Trustees for the Mendham Township Library, and for the past four years, I’ve led two Girl Scout troops, helping dozens of girls build confidence, leadership, and community awareness. I’ve also created local outreach programs focused on maternal and child health and proudly support many regional nonprofits.
A Parent Who Gets It
As a parent, I’ve been closely involved in our school community—and I’ve personally experienced the power of support through my own child’s IEP and 504 plan. The process was smooth, collaborative, and truly uplifting. It reminded me of my own journey: when the right support is in place early on, children grow into confident, capable learners. That was a full-circle moment I will never forget.
Committed to Our Community’s Future
Now, I want to give back in a greater way. As a member of the Board of Education, I will bring smart, experienced leadership rooted in empathy, balance, and a deep belief in the strength of our school community. My mission is to preserve what’s working, advocate where needed, and help ensure that every student in Mendham Township has the opportunity to thrive—just as I did and just like my child does.
I am honored to give back to a town that has given my family so much. With thoughtful leadership and a clear vision, I’m committed to centering our children’s well-being in every decision we make—because when we lead with balance and harmony, we all rise.
