Testimonials

  • Working with Christine was a sublime experience. Her resume speaks for itself, but what it can’t tell you is that she is open, amicable, and enthusiastic about the content she is presenting, while being willing to tailor the content toward the group she’s presenting to. I will reach out to her with any opportunity I can for a presentation, and I highly recommend working with her.
