About Christina
I know what employers look for, because I've been the one hiring.
With more than 25 years of leadership at global companies including Accenture, SAP, Adobe, Oracle, and IBM, I know what employers look for, and I'm passionate about helping students stand out. Throughout my career, I've hired, coached, mentored, and developed high-performing professionals while leading teams, driving innovation, and building successful careers.
Today, I bring that same experience to college students, helping them discover career paths, secure internships, build resumes and LinkedIn profiles, prepare for interviews, and confidently launch their careers. I specialize in helping early career people navigate the technology industry landscape. My approach combines practical coaching, personalized guidance, and real-world hiring insights to help you compete in today's job market.
As a former executive, community leader, and recipient of the Top 50 Women We Admire recognition and Adobe Women in Leadership honor, my mission is simple: empower the next generation with the confidence, skills, and connections to succeed.
