I cannot recommend Christy Miller Howard highly enough. Her unique ability to blend deep expertise with genuine care has transformed the way I — and so many others — approach our careers.

Christy has a gift for seeing the strengths people often overlook in themselves and then helping them communicate those strengths with clarity and confidence.

From the start, Christy made me feel seen, supported, and empowered. She took the time to understand my goals, my story, and what makes me uniquely valuable.

Through her resume and LinkedIn optimization services, she helped me articulate my strengths and present myself with authenticity and confidence. But what sets Christy apart is that she goes far beyond the technical. She helps you believe in yourself again.

Christy’s guidance is rooted in real-world experience, deep empathy, and a genuine desire to see others thrive. She doesn’t offer cookie-cutter advice — she meets you where you are and walks with you as you move forward. Her coaching is both practical and deeply affirming.

I recently relocated to the UK with no prior experience navigating the job market here. Feeling uncertain about where to start, I reached out to Christy Miller Howard through LinkedIn and was immediately impressed by her professionalism, warmth, and genuine willingness to help.

Christy went above and beyond in crafting a professional CV that not only aligned with UK standards but also truly reflected my strengths and experience.

I met Christy in 2008 and have had the benefit of her styling for all these years.

In 2016 when I competed in the United States pageant, she helped me create a book. This meant that going to the national pageant, I had complete outfits with accessories. That removed all the pressure while I was there, allowing me to focus on a competition where I was awarded Ms. Congeniality.

This doesn’t mean that you have to be on a big stage to get her styling assistance. She helps me with everyday outfits and going out with the girls.

Because I have a stylist literally at my fingertips, I can snap a picture of the different outfits. I’m thinking about wearing a variety of shoes, accessories, purses, etc., and then she will respond by letting me know which ones to pair with each other.

Time and again, she creates outfits that I wouldn’t have thought of, and along the way, I’m learning so much.

Because of her guidance, I’m starting to create outfits that I never would have before

It was truly a joy working with Christy. She thoughtfully went through my closet, removed pieces that didn’t flatter me, organized everything by color, and even took me shopping.

Christy Howard’s expertise in resume writing and career coaching was instrumental in my job search. As an executive assistant with ten years of experience, I needed a resume that truly reflected my skills and career aspirations. Christy crafted two exceptional resumes—one highlighting my strategic executive assistant capabilities, which ultimately helped me secure my new role, and another with a broader focus on operations and executive support. She also updated my LinkedIn profile, adjusting settings to increase visibility with recruiters and ensuring my professional brand was consistent across platforms. Her ability to translate my experience into compelling, results-driven resumes gave me the confidence to apply for higher-level positions with a clear and polished professional brand.

Beyond the resumes, Christy’s no-nonsense advice helped me navigate the job market with ease. She coached me through key conversations, helping me recognize my worth, spot red flags, and quickly shut down chats with recruiters or hiring managers when a job wasn’t the right fit. Plus, she provided great resources to help me maintain everything moving forward.

I truly couldn’t have landed my new role without her guidance, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking to take their career to the next level!

Cheryl E.

In 2011, I had the amazing chance to invite Christy to my home to completely change my closet. From the moment she arrived, her energy was infectious! We went through each piece of clothing, carefully deciding what really matched my style and fit me well. If something didn’t fit those ideas, we set it aside for donation. Although this process took some time, it felt great to see my closet filled only with items I truly loved and would wear.

Christy helped create outfits from a narrowed-down selection of clothing and accessories. She designed ten fabulous looks using just one pair of jeans and photographed each outfit, including shoes, jewelry, and purses. This process allowed for a fresh perspective on the closet, resulting in 100 unique outfits that were previously unconsidered.

The experience involved a wardrobe makeover that led to self-discovery and clarity on personal style across different categories (casual, professional, dressy). It emphasized the positive feelings associated with donating old clothes and the satisfaction of having an organized and curated closet.

I highly recommend Christy to anyone who wants to gain confidence and express their unique style. She is a talented stylist who not only changes your wardrobe but also improves your self-image. Christy has a great way of helping you feel your best!
