“Christine was an excellent panel participant for our discussion on Experiencing Inclusivity. Her perspectives were rich, and her examples showed a depth that blended her years of experience in neuroscience with her unique background in DEI. Since this topic was very personal for her, she brought personal and corporate experiences, making the conversation extra meaningful and applicable to our audience. Thank you, Christine, for sharing your learnings! “

- Tiffany Lentz, Vice President, Pariveda

“Christine is a true dedicated and talented strategist in the diversity, equity and inclusion space. Her greatest strength is her ability to balance the people side with the business realities, which is critical for the DEI change process. In addition to Christine’s ability to build successful cultural competency in others and in organizations, she radiates high-energy, a positive perspective and thoughtfulness with everyone she interacts with. Christine also brings care and calm to interactions that can be emotionally charged, leaving participants with optimism and learning. An intellectual with creative capabilities, I would recommend Christine without reservation.”
