"Christie's mark with us will be indelible.
I entered the collaborative process of updating my program with Christie feeling very tired and even more cynical. Christie surprised and delighted me with practical, realistic, actionable, feasible ways forward to improve the course that I teach, and she did so without being naive or saccharine about the challenges we are facing. It's been a hard two years, and I am feeling some glimmers of hope for improving a program I love so dearly.”

Christie worked tirelessly to develop engaging, well-researched programs. She is very organized, thorough, deadline-oriented, and responsive to organizational needs.
Christie developed countless educational programs for parents, adults, and professionals during her years as a consultant with us — she was an integral part of our program team. Christie trained our speakers in best practices, improving their facilitation and presentation skills. She spoke and coordinated many sessions at our annual patient conference.

"When my colleague and I decided to revise our educational program, we knew that we would need an experienced professional.
Christie made us feel that we could “let our hair down” while still moving forward in a structured and purposeful way! She made us trust her and the process. Christie could think on her feet and readjust as needed - whether it be the timeline or the focus. Our time was so productive that we decided to meet with her at the end of each semester. I highly recommend Christie. Her ability to combine focus with fun is amazing!”
