Sorry, had to do it. I mean, look at that cheesin’ picture. Anyway…

Hi, I’m Christine. Pretty sure we’ve covered that already. I’m a writer and editor with a soft spot for food, travel, and the occasional existential crisis.

I started out working in F&B for many years, and I’ve done everything from fine dining to bartending to FOH managing. So yes, I’ve seen the dark underbelly of brunch service, and yes, I can still carry three plates with one arm.

I studied both English Literature (B.A.) and Film Media (B.A.) at Georgia State University, which means I can craft a killer sentence AND explain the deeper symbolism in a Coen Brothers film.

Before going freelance full-time, I spent four years as editor-in-chief of The Millennial Source, a Hong Kong-based media outlet covering global news, Hong Kong lifestyle, and Human Stories. I managed an international team of writers, edited thousands of articles, and lived in a near-constant state of Slack pings and caffeine. It was fun and chaotic and one of my most rewarding experiences. Before that, I was associate editor at a glossy print magazine covering the northside of Atlanta.

My writing has covered everything from destination guides to culinary history to questionable trends going viral on TikTok. While storytelling is my first love, I also develop content for brands that want to sound more human and less like the robots that will eventually take over (kidding…kinda). I’ve worked with clients in a range of industries, from education to healthcare and cosmetics retail.

In 2019, I sold everything and moved to Costa Rica with my elderly cat (RIP Kitty) and a suitcase stuffed with 50 pounds of prescription cat food. Now I live in San José with my husband and three fur kids, Charlie (cat), Lucy (cat), and Yala (dog).
