"Christina is, quite simply, one of the most intuitive and brilliant people I know. She has this almost uncanny ability to understand how people's writing minds work and then offer them unique ideas, techniques, and wisdom geared specifically for how they think and what kind of project they are writing. I've watched her do this over and over in writing spaces that I host and it's always astounding to me. If you have a chance to work with her, take it!"

"Christina's eye for detail goes beyond merely improving writing for clarity. She focuses on helping authors transform their writing, turning adequate explanations into engaging narratives. She is meticulous and insightful in her comments and suggestions - things that always make writing better. Especially for academics who don't always get thorough feedback on their writing (beyond making it coherent), having someone care about the narrative and how to improve it is a gift!"

"Christina created a mini workshop on podcasting for my seminar students and cheerfully engaged in an "Ask Me Anything!" conversation with them over Zoom. She was fantastic. She offered my co-instructor and myself helpful guidance on crafting a worthy podcast project, answered our students' questions energetically and thoroughly, and followed up with a wealth of information for the students after the fact. The students deeply appreciated her time, learned an enormous amount, and were much better podcasters because of her assistance. I couldn't be more grateful and impressed."
