Paige Berry
Creative, on the ball, a gem to work with!
Katye Brought
I met Christina when she joined the Witte Museum team over 5 years ago. She joined in the middle of the Museum's $100 million campus transformation and was able to manage the multitude of projects with ease. Christina brought her expertise in and was able to completely re-invent the Museum's Gallery Theater program, bringing the Public Programs department she managed to a top tier level. Christina is a hard-working professional who always puts the needs of her institution and clients first. I have witnessed Christina work in all sorts of environments and am always impressed at the level of poise and dedication she brings. Christina and I have collaborated on multiple projects at the Witte and through her business Cate Creative. I have only the highest praise for Christina and her work ethic.
