When she’s not teaching, you can find Cristin in her garden or traveling the world.
Cristin was an astoundingly effective leader.
My colleagues and I counted ourselves lucky to have such a patient and empowering manager and mentor. She knew our strengths well and trusted us to perform and to execute.
While she fostered our skills and supported our development, she never let that get in the way of successfully completing projects at a high level of quality. She was always clear with expectations, task requirements, and deadlines.
I hope to work for someone with the same level of leadership and professionalism in the future, but they are few and far between.
