In her consulting work, she combines what she learned as a journalist – how to use curiosity to better understand a situation and how to clearly present information – with what she has learned from her community and organization development work – how to get the right conversations going, with the right data, on the questions that really matter, so people build clarity, commitment and capacity to move forward and meet objectives.
She is a firm believer in the power of meaningful dialogue as a lever for action and change. She applies the principles and practices of Dialogue Educationâ„¢ in all her teaching and consulting work and has discovered their relevance across many cultures.
Christine has lived in Latin America for 20 years and is fluent in English and Spanish.

When Christine is not at work
Christine lives in Costa Rica with her husband Steve and her two children, Jordan, 18 (currently at university) and Max, 15. Although she has lived there for 17 years, she is still exploring the beaches, mountains and jungles of this beautiful country – in boots, bikes or jeep – and there is still lots more discovering!
