is a freelance writer, editor and video blogger who, at age ten, used to take her parents’ battered encyclopedias and write research papers about polar explorers...for fun.
While she’s yet to make it to the South Pole, her curiosity about science and the environment has been the impetus behind her journalism career.
In 2006, Christina received the Internews Greek Cultural Fellowship and traveled to Athens to research its underground sex trade. In 2007, she was awarded Small Business Journalist of the Year for Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska by the Small Business Administration. She’s a former assistant editor for the Outside Buyer’s Guide and the former gear editor for Alpinist.
She’s written about human rights, business, gear, elite athletes and emerging green technologies for half a dozen Iowa newspapers, The New York Times, Foreign Policy, SNEWS, Travel + Leisure, Skiing, Outside, Outside’s Go, Outside Buyer’s Guide and Outside Online.
Christina is based in Jackson, Wyoming. When not writing, you can find her climbing, biking and exploring the Grand Tetons with her trouble-making puppy, Santos.
