His patient and traditional leadership style taught her the value of precision, accountability, and perseverance—principles that continue to guide her commitment to excellence. Christiane approaches her work with integrity and a servant’s heart, emphasizing that true professional growth comes from pursuing opportunities that honor one’s values rather than simply chasing financial gain.

The values that define Christiane in both her professional and personal life include integrity, resilience, leadership, and loyalty. A defining moment came during a crisis when the company she worked for faced potential bankruptcy on Christmas Day.
