LLN Reports on The Coffee Cake Lady, Christine Welch. Christine Welch is the founder and owner of The Coffeecake Connection company, which was officially launched on November 1st, 2011 after after months of life changing events that catapulted a dream into becoming a reality.

Christine was part of Corporate America for over 25 years, and her most recent position was managing a team of account executives in HR/PR technology solutions.
