“I sought out Christine after finding her on Linkedin and was impressed by her experience and what she is doing with the Creative Startup Academy. I was looking for someone to coach me through the initial phases of starting my coaching/consulting business and working with her was great! She was exactly what I was looking for. Christine was very efficient, thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. I always left sessions with her motivated and ready to tackle my next steps. I would definitely recommend her. “ Ali Pruitt
