Through her company Expressive Ink communications, Christine is an author, speaker and communications consultant on projects that uplift women and promote a better society through delayed gratification. Of all the child care tips and advice out there, she believes that teaching young children patience is the single biggest thing you can do to affect their success in school, their sense of responsibility and outlook on life. But before we can teach it, we have to live it.

Christine has been featured in national publications including Parents, Redbook, and Woman’s World. She is a Go-To Mom columnist on Behavior and Discipline for ClubMom.com, a member-based resource for more than 25 million moms nationwide.

Her children’s book, “Green Yellow Go! Nat Knows Bananas” was the spark for developing concrete tips for modeling and teaching the critical skill of patience — with empathy, conscious choice and leadership. A story Christine once told her daughter about a little girl who must wait for her bananas to turn from green to yellow, “Green Yellow Go! Nat Knows Bananas” has become a treasured bedtime book.

Christine lives with her two daughters, husband and yellow labrador in Minnesota. She has been a professional journalist and communications consultant since 1993, and spends part of her time these days promoting professional service clients with the team of Ingenuity Marketing Group in St. Paul, MN.
