2024 Clients

"Christina has been a trusted sounding board during my career search in student affairs. She provides detailed, specific feedback on application material, and thoughtful guidance for interview preparation. She ensures that her clients connect their experience to the job posting, highlight the skills and expertise that show they are the best candidate, and provides critical insight to examine the job opportunity. I highly recommend Christina for anyone navigating a job search in student affairs."

Client Testimonial - Career Coaching

“I was lucky enough to attended a panel [Christina] recently sat on discussing career growth for part-time support staff in which she was able to go in-depth on her journey through student affairs & the places folks can go within the field. Christina broke down her highs and her lows, letting folks know the journey isn’t always a straight path, but you never know where the twists and turns can take you. She was able to provide resources and connect folks with information which will support the audience in their journey throughout their careers as support staff; & how folks can work towards full time careers if they wish to.

Hearing her determination throughout her career was truly inspirational as it encourages me to follow in her footsteps. I won’t be a director anytime soon but knowing that someone who started out at the same place that I did/am at, could achieve such a career of such high calibre, does nothing but light a fire under me to get there one day.”

Participant Testimonial - Industry Panel

“I had the pleasure of working with Christina Farow as a keynote panelist for McMaster University's recent Innovations in Education Conference. Christina brought an impressive blend of expertise and passion to the stage; she was extremely thoughtful and well spoken throughout the conference. Her presence and warmth made a mark on our audience, inspiring attendees to delve deeper into the topic long after the event concluded. I would highly recommend Christina as a keynote or featured speaker for events and programming.  Thank you, Christina for your exceptional contribution to our conference! It was a pleasure to work with you, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.”
