Throughout the three and a half years I have known Christine; I have seen her consistently lead a life exemplifying integrity, diligence, compassion and perseverance. These attributes are an integral part of her personal life as well as her professional life. I have been honored to know Christine in both of these areas.
As a personal friend of Christine’s I have been continually amazed at the support and love she has for friends and family. Many times, I have personally experienced the giving of her time to be a listening friend or give words of support and love. The times that I have witnessed Christine going far beyond the call of duty as a friend to lend a hand of help are innumerable. Christine offers this love and support regardless of any personal struggles that she may be experiencing at the time. What makes these characteristics more incredible is the fact that she does them without asking for or believing that she will get anything in return.
A few years ago, I had the privilege of working closely with Christine for several months. Christine treated every employee and client with a high level of respect and equality, despite many difficult personalities and situations. As with her personal life, Christine is dedicated to her work and always puts her best effort forward. Christine faces challenges with a spirit of optimism and perseverance. She has a realistic understanding of her strengths and limitations and thus encourages team work to better achieve a goal.
It has been my experience with Christine that she has a strong sense of self and knows her personal and professional dreams and goals; and she works on accomplishing them in a moral and considerate fashion.
