Christa Clarke launched Cubicles to Cocktails in 2018 after a series of post-work happy hours with her friends and mentor. After conducting research and speaking to the women of color in her community, Christa discovered that many of them faced the same issues that she had previously commiserated over happy hours with friends.
Feelings of isolation from being the “Only” at work compounded by a lack of development opportunities addressing their unique work needs were common.
Christa noted, however, that many women in her community didn’t have access to a mentor. If they did, they did not have a strong network of success-minded career women that looked like them.
Christa believes that every woman deserves the network and resources to enable her to excel in her career! She has made it her mission to help make this their reality.
Christa graduated from Rice University, earning both her B.S. in Bioengineering and M.S. in Bioscience Research and Health Policy. Christa is a proud Houstonian known for her infectious laughter and genuine desire to see women thrive!
When she is not cheering on other women, you can find Christa learning about cocktail culture and volunteering with her husband.
