Hopeworks alumni Chris Church recently reached 1 year as a full time consulting professional at Slalom - a global consulting firm. In his current position, Chris partners with clients to develop human centered solutions for their business.
Chris has faced innumerable challenges in his journey to where he is today. From feeling lost in life to being stuck in unfulfilling positions, he has worked hard to beat the odds. Now, he’s a Rutgers University Graduate, moving up the ladder at a global consulting firm, and still finds time to support his favorite sports teams!
“Hopeworks has prepared me for this journey by being an organization that emphasizes the exploration of technology while promoting self expression. The technical skills that I learned at Hopeworks, as well as a people first mentality have allowed me to succeed in my current role at Slalom.”
Happy 1 Year Work Anniversary Chris, we are proud to have been a part of your journey!
