Meet Christina

“I have a passion for learning that's taken me from UC Berkeley to Cambridge Judge Business School and University College Dublin, where I earned my BA (Honors) and 2x Master's degrees. Throughout my career, I've embraced opportunities in both the North American (NORAM) and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) job markets. From my early days working at local mom and pop shops & start-ups to contributing to global giants like Meta, Snap, Paramount Pictures, and NBCUniversal, I've always sought new challenges. My journey has been defined by continuous learning and growth. Currently, as a Digital Strategy Lead at Google, I've decided to share my experiences. I want to partner with college applicants and early career seekers who are confused about where to start!

Christina Wainwright was incredibly eager to help me as soon as I mentioned I was starting my college applications. After I wrote my essays, she was quick to jump on and edit my words. She gave me suggestions to help my punctuation, delivery, and formality. Christina has helped me be accepted into schools such as UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz. Currently, I am waiting for more college decisions to head my way but am hoping to go to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and be a Mustang for the next four years!

Whether it was asking Christina to proofread my papers, or asking for advice and encouragement, she always helped bring me to my next step. Most recently, she helped edit my cover letter for a job application to make sure my application stood out amongst the others. Thanks to Christina, I got the interview and job!

When starting the daunting task of applying for jobs, Chris was immensely helpful by teaching me to sell myself to potential employers. With only a couple hours of work, we were able to rewrite a CV that not only accurately portrayed my achievements, but also caught the eyes of recruiters. Within a couple of weeks, I had 4 job interviews lined up which gave me an entry way to the tech world.
Fast forward 2 years, I’m currently working for HubSpot, one of the biggest marketing solution providers in the world.

Christina has helped me land nearly every professional opportunity I have gotten, especially the ones earlier in my career. She has a unique gift for framing a candidate’s talents and experiences to match what is expected in the job. She is extremely thorough in her resume reviews, interview preparation, and overall guidance. I am lucky to have had her in my corner so far!
