Hello, I'm Christina.
I grew up in a small suburb in rural Parkton just outside of
Fayetteville, NC. Since I can remember I've always had a passion for three interests that has shaped me into the woman I am today.
First, since
the time I could reach a computer keyboard I've been consumed with a
love for all technology. Since 2002 when MySpace became a huge hit, I
began teaching myself how to write and design HTML/CSS codes for web
page design and development in my spare time. Today I like to stay on
top of the newest breaking tech trends and apps hitting the market.
Nothing beats getting the latest tech before it even hits the shelves in
stores.
Easily my second biggest passion is my writing. I wrote my
first novel in the 4th grade and since then haven't stopped. As I've
grown older my writing portfolio has begun to include more and more
non-fiction pieces, reflecting me as a more serious writer. My first
published writing was a news article was during my Junior year at
Lakewood High School for our school section in the Sampson Independent.
Since then I've been published numerous times by my university newspaper, The East Carolinian. I have worked as Copy Chief where I have taken off my journalist shoes and slid on my editor glasses. I also worked at Innerbanks Media where I ran NASCAR races every weekend for Thunder Country 96.3.
My third, not to be mistaken as any less
better, passion in life is my insatiable appetite for knowledge and
reading. I suppose it's the writer in me that goes hand in hand with my
constant need for reading as well as my love of learning. I've always
enjoyed being a student and treat it as a lifestyle and job rather than
an annoyance or necessity.
I am currently in my fifth year of
attendance at East Carolina University located in Greenville, North
Carolina. I am a dedicated Communication major with a deep love for
Journalism and Media Studies. I aspire to move on to get my doctorate in Communication so I may return to Greenville and teach at a university level within the communication field of study.
