About Me
Hi, I’m Christina. For 3 years, I lived on the road full-time in a school bus, or “skoolie” as they’re affectionately called. I renovated the bus myself, turning it into a tiny home on wheels. In 2018, I thru-hiked the 500-mile Colorado Trail solo. The pandemic changed much of what I love about road life, so I transitioned back into a more stable, rooted life while still traveling as much as I can.
I love the outdoors. I camp, hike, backpack, snowshoe, rock climb, kayak, and ski. I photograph every location I visit and have been building my outdoor experience for a lifetime.
On the professional side, I have 8 years of experience in business affairs, advertising, social media, blogging, and corporate content. I’ve worked with tech companies and ad agencies. I understand the fast-paced nature of today’s work. I know what it’s like to have tight deadlines. Clients, celebrities, and producers depend on my attention to detail, clear communication, and quick turnaround, from writing legal contracts to managing multi-million-dollar budgets.
Business Affairs
I evaluate risk, contract talent for union and non-union advertising campaigns, oversee relationships with those talent— from “real people” to creators and influencers to celebrities—license music, stock images, UGC, and other IP, manage vendors, and ensure clients and talent receive fair rates.
I’ve worked with everyone from Keke Palmer to Elizabeth Banks to Spoon, representing both agency clients and tech companies “in-house”. Realtor.com, Timberland, MINI Cooper, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp are just a few of the clients I’ve worked with.
I’m currently at Liberty Mutual part-time and offer freelance BA services to small businesses.
Work With Me
I’m currently expanding my freelance business and looking to take on new clients.
If I can help you with business affairs, photography, or writing, reach out! I’d love to meet you.
