Kristi was my amazing mentor! She has a wonderful way of being both realistic and positive, two things that worked so well for me in my quest for my product design job. Her ability to organize a plan and adjust it along the way created an amazing transformation for me and my new career. I can't commend her enough. She is the best and I am going to miss her so much!

Kristi has been an amazing coach over these past few months, delivering exactly when I needed it most. Navigating a late-career layoff is challenging, but Kristi guided me through the uncertainty and the difficult questions I faced. She helped me assess my strengths and gain a better understanding of my potential for the next chapters of my career. Through various exercises and tasks, she pushed me to discover what I am truly capable of. Her down-to-earth and direct manner was both refreshing and appreciated. Her wisdom, insights, and countless career tips have been incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Kristi to anyone navigating unexpected career changes or simply seeking a fresh start.

Kristi was an incredible mentor, she went above and beyond supplying me with well-organized and easy-to-digest information on LinkedIn updates, job hunting, resume review, and clear concise portfolio design review and feedback. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone she is warm, intelligent, passionate, and an outstanding teacher. She has made me more confidence in my search and believe in myself.
