Bio
Candise R.
Christe has inspired me to always be present, sincere and big hearted when it comes to interacting with people in the background of an organization to the front lines of an organization. she has exemplified this in multiple ways while working at Colorado Uplift. She models the way for all to be genuine and intentional in all that you do, to treat everyone the same and equally show love and appreciation. she is one of the most trusted leaders around. it is an honor knowing Christie.

Christie is a creative, kind, group gathering Director who I learned so much from in our time together at Colorado UpLift. I worked directly on her team for 18 months and learned so much about the consistency and planning that goes into a great communication plan. I am so grateful for her encouragement and guidance during that time. We frequently would call her the historian and her memory was so helpful in building and better describing the Colorado UpLift brand in new and exciting ways. As a colleague and mentor, I was consistently grateful for her professionalism and sincerity. I’m happy I had the opportunity to work with Christie and I give her my full recommendation.
