Hello.
I’m Christina. I’m an Associate Creative Director at KERN, an Omnicom Agency, where my main client is American Express. When people ask what I do, I answer “writer.” And that’s not to diminish my job and all of its facets, which I absolutely love. I just like that “writer” encompasses so much more than copy and creative. I like that there’s something innate that makes me sit down to write even if I don’t have to, even if it’s not tied to a paycheck. I like that I can write whatever I want. Poems or articles or journal entries or copy or lists or sketches or short stories or long ones. And just in case you’re here to find out a little more about me, maybe beyond my love for writing (by now I’m sure you’re saying “I GET IT I GET IT YOU LIKE TO WRITE”), I think it’d be fun to tell you some other things I’ve done professionally that I also like. In no particular order:
- Horse trainer
- Middle school math teacher
- Caterer
- In-home caregiver
- Chocolatier
- Barista
- Host on a board game podcast
And as long as we’re in the mood for lists about likes, I should mention that my number one defining personality trait would have to be that I’m an enthusiast. I really love things. I can’t help it. Get me talking about food that I’ve enjoyed and the conversation might actually never end. Hobbies? Forget about it. But as long as you’re still reading and indulging my completely self-indulgent About Page, here are some non-career-related things that I really like:
- Cookies (chocolate chip is the best but I love them all)
- Books (surprise it’s a writer who is also a reader, bet you didn’t expect THAT)
- Parentheses (but I promise there won’t be a parenthetical statement for every bullet)
- Lists (lol)
- Silliness
- The ocean
- Trails and forests and stuff
- Dogs but also every other animal
- My dog, Misty
- My family
- Exploring places, which includes my own backyard (LA), but also includes places very far away and medium far away, too
- Tacos
- Dancing
- Yoga
- Dancing during yoga poses or during workouts when I’m supposed to be doing yoga or a workout
- Music (which might actually be my favorite thing in the entire existence of things)
Okay I’m gonna stop myself there because as I mentioned I like a lot of things and I like them A LOT so this could go on for days.
If you want to know more about the work I’ve done or you just want to talk about food for the rest of the day, feel free to reach out.
