    Christina made an effort to understand my goals and objectives before beginnings. She asked me questions as she edited and her final commentary was extremely insightful and educational. I highly recommend working with her.

    Christina was wonderful to work with; with her depth of experience and insights, she picks up on words or ideas where small changes can make a significant difference; her work enhances the understanding and impact of the piece. I would work again with Christina in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great job!
