Hello! I’m Kristi Carol Bergdahl, but I go by Kristi Carol. With over 10 years of experience in healthcare, I’ve had the opportunity to work across non-profit and private practices, as well as in higher education within the Cal State system and a healthcare college.

Below is a compilation of testimonials from individuals I have collaborated with, highlighting their positive experiences while working alongside me.

Sustainability Manager
I had the privilege of working closely with Kristi during our tenure as Senators at Orange Coast College. Over the course of a year, we collaborated on various projects, including the approval of substantial student funds amounting to $2 million. Kristi showcased exceptional organizational skills as we worked together to plan and execute events on campus, contributing significantly to the vibrant student life at our institution.
Beyond campus initiatives, Kristi demonstrated a strong commitment to student advocacy during two professional development events for the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC). Notably, we marched in Sacramento, joining hundreds of community college students to advocate for affordable education amid the challenges of the ‘Great Recession.’ Kristi’s dedication to fostering open communication and her genuine concern for the success of our organization were evident in her efforts to organize a successful Town Hall event. This event, aimed at informing students about impending fee hikes, attracted a large audience due to Kristi’s strategic planning and resourcefulness.
Kristi’s leadership qualities, effective communication, and proactive approach to addressing organizational challenges make her a standout individual. Her passion for student advocacy and her ability to turn ideas into successful initiatives mark her as an asset to any team or organization.

Shobit Singh, MBA
Associate Director
It is my privilege to strongly recommend Kristi. Graduate business coursework we worked on together involved the use of system dynamics analyses to inform company policy. She has a solid foundation in using programs such as Vensim to test policy changes and their impact on a system. Kristi has a strong understanding of business analysis outside the system dynamics niche, and is acutely aware of cognitive biases that can cloud business analysis.
Kristi has equally valuable non-technical skills; graduate coursework requires high degrees of communication and work ethic, both of which Kristi fit the bill for. She made her needs understood, and had the constitution to sit through a number of lengthy reviews of each others’ novel solutions to a company’s conundrums.
While I’m certain there is more to write about Kristi, these are the skills Kristi has exuded that I am qualified to speak of. These skills make her uniquely qualified for a breadth of leadership, management, and team-based roles.
