Professional Experience

Christina has published work on nearly every editorial platform -- print, web, apps, and blogs. The bulk of her writing has been on food and drink, men's style, travel, health, and workplace trends. Her creative projects include a screenplay and a collection of poems and short stories. When she is not writing, Christina is eating her way through Brooklyn, New York, where she lives with her two roommates and a signed photo of Scully and Mulder.
