Client Testimonials

Stories of Real Progress

Professionals from around the world share what working with Christine made possible.

Having arrived with few professional contacts and no experience with the Portland professional market, Christine's help was instrumental in landing me my first local job. She offered strategic suggestions on my résumé and pulled me into networking opportunities. Her guidance culminated in my most recent transfer to a management role at Nike.

I owe my successful transition into the Portland apparel industry to Christine! I'd been trying to break in for over eight months to no avail. Her coaching helped me translate my international work experience to the U.S. industry and with her help I landed an amazing job within a month!

When I moved to Portland, Christine helped me secure my first job at Columbia Sportswear. I couldn't have asked for a better partner. She made a genuine effort to get to know me and showed a level of support and interest that extended well beyond her responsibilities.

I first met Christine when I was an advertising major trying to figure out my next step after college. Her belief in my talent and potential helped me enter the professional world with confidence I would have otherwise never had. She keeps the positive and inspiring attitude that makes her a great ally to young creatives trying to break into the field they're passionate about.

Christine has an uncanny ability to help people see the potential within themselves and go to the next level. Her background in house and at agencies gives her the ability to understand these environments — providing her an edge when coaching creatives.

Every email and phone call with Christine is bright and informative. Without her guidance and expertise I would still be struggling. When you consider collaborating with Christine, prepare yourself: she can drive passion like no one else!

When I connected with Christine I was looking for a job I could feel enthusiastic about. She was a wonderful advocate and helped me acquire an excellent position. Christine works tirelessly and cannot be matched for her upbeat attitude and passionate outlook.

Starting out as a freelance designer was challenging, but with Christine's coaching and leadership I was able to land my first full time in-house design job. I'm now a production artist at Nike and enjoying much success in my career. Thank you, Christine, for helping nurture my talent!

Christine provided invaluable insight to my questions and offered a clear plan for my job search process. With her partnership I landed the role I wanted with my target company.
