GSS Blogger's Profile


Christine Van Buskirk



Christine, 31, is a former Ram's Cheerleader and PR representative, online marketing whiz, wife, mother of two, blogger, and pioneer of SeeVacationRentals.com. Now she is founder of GirlShopSpot.com, an online hub that represents a great shopping resource for women and small businesses, while providing an online community as well. GirlShopSpot.com is not only a specialized search engine; it's an online community and marketing resource for burgeoning businesses.

Christine's varied background includes working for the St. Louis Rams home office in Marketing, Entertainment, and Public Relations. After receiving her B.A. in Business Administration, reading books on web marketing, and learning from and working with her software engineer husband, her interest in the Internet arose. Christine and Jim both packed their bags and moved to Silicon Valley, before the burst, to garner the experience of the Internet frenzy. There, Christine worked for Samsung Electronics where she learned the concepts of marketing communications, web marketing, and advertising.

Back in Missouri as a stay-at-home mom, and with the launch of SeeVacationRentals.com under her belt, Christine is fulfilling her dreams of becoming a successful career woman by helping other moms and business women achieve their dreams online.
