Christina Woodward, 3500+ Direct Connects’s Summary

I love being in this dynamic profession. The game continues to evolve and challenge its participants. Every time we get comfortable and think we’ve got it down, the battery changes! Those who get ahead of the curve take chances and dive in head first. This is a thrilling ride and its always on the way up.

Personally my passion lies in Diversity Initiatives and Talent Management. I have a strong preference for companies who share this focus and look for innovative methods to support these themes in the organization.
