Cristi is an accounting professor at the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business, and a mom to three incredible children. Work-life balance took on a completely different meaning for her when her husband, Rick, passed away in 2008. She's learned to calculate the value of the time she gets with her family and weigh it against the cost of things like cleaning, yard work, and cooking. She has some amazing insights into how she chooses which things in her life must be sacrificed. Let me tell you, it's not her work or her family.
