She used her considerable network to help us get connected with the movers and shakers in the world.
We worked with Kristi for a series of engagements. She helped us with fund raising strategies and provided marketing and grant writing material. She also used her considerable network to help us get connected with movers and shakers in the world of foundations and granting organizations.

Board Chair, The Tender Bridge
Kristi served as an extended member of my team focusing on public affairs, and in every instance produced superb work and exceeded expectations.

CEO, Health Facilities Association of Maryland
Kristi earned the respect of every board member and has us on a solid path to meet standards of excellence.
Despite a number of naysayers, Kristi earned the respect of every board member and has us on a solid path to meet standards of excellence in our governance and operations. She has great intuitive sense and extraordinary communication skills. Kristi worked with us as a guide and listened rather than telling us what to do. She knows how to collaborate, handle conflict, and respect all points of view. I have worked in HR and nonprofit organizations for over 40 years. Kristi is the best consultant I have ever seen. She is trustworthy, professional, and delivers what she promises.

Board President, ICSA
I would highly recommend Kristi as a talented fundraising/development resource.
I was impressed by her fresh energy, creative and accretive ideas. As a result of her efforts, Board participation in fundraising increased and innovative events like Cookies & Wine and S’Mores Day increased GSCM’s committed donor basis. Our collaboration was also fun and easy, with Kristi’s ‘can-do’ and ‘let’s try this’ positive attitude.

I truly can not capture the impact that Kristi has not only had on us meeting our goals, but exceeding them.
Kristi was able in a short two months provide the expertise and clear defined goals to our ideas, and her plan; and since then we have had amazing opportunities in both TV and print that we would not have had otherwise. Kristi has not only the expertise and wisdom, but also the contacts and connections which is a testament to her character.

COO, Ey3 Technologies
I highly recommend Kristi for her PR and broader marketing work.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kristi for a good while and have always enjoyed working with her. She’s super attentive, proactive, and creative in everything she delivers. She has a huge PR network and can leverage it in real-time which is critical for an organization like ours who are responding with content and commentary on breaking and current news. She has been able to get us newspaper, radio and TV coverage sometimes within an hour of a situation unfolding which has placed our firm front of mind as a leader in our industry and field.

Working with Kristi got our story picked up in four local papers, including one feature story, and a radio interview.
As the CEO of a new startup I have many needs and am still trying to find the right people to partner with to accomplish our goals. Working with Kristi got our story picked up in four local papers, including one feature story, and a radio interview. Of course this exposure introduced our product to more prospective customers and partners who I’m still hearing from several weeks after the announcement.
