Christine
Wunderlin M. S. has been providing career guidance and motivational
training for almost 20 years. Her experience started in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin while working at Wisconsin Gas Company. Christine
was a non-traditional college student who started her college
education later in life. She appreciated the experience and
is an ardent advocate for education at any age. Christine
received a Bachelor's Degree in Business and Marketing from
Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and soon after
that, moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where she completed a Master's
Degree in Educational Psychology and Counseling - specializing
in Rehabilitation and Career Development at the University
of Nevada Las Vegas. Her Masters' Thesis is entitled: Counseling
Individuals Who Have Lost Their Jobs Through Downsizing; the
Ramifications of Their Loss. Christine received her certification
as an Employment and Career Transition Coach from the Career
Planning and Adult Development Network in San Diego, California.
Christine has always been fascinated with the
concept of work. She has an innate curiosity and interest
about why some people love their jobs and others do not. Her
personal philosophy is that everyone has a purpose in life;
our work is our purpose. What we do for a living is very important,
and if we are not satisfied, then we need to do something
about it. Christine is a holistic career counselor using a
SWOT Analysis technique.

Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, The Business Connection,
Southwest Gas Corporation, Team Consulting, New Horizons Computer

Program in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Christine enjoys
working with high school and college students who are "trying
to find their way," providing career assessments and
career guidance; working with individuals who are in a state
of transition - either dissatisfied in their jobs or as a
result of relocation, and individuals who want to improve
or enhance their leadership skills.
