Cristina’s always found writing more comfortable to do than speaking, which is why she chose print over broadcast media in college. Getting her Journalism degree wasn’t her first writing-related achievement though. She also got published frequently in her high school magazine and her parents were constantly dazzled, delighted, and amused by her SF essays as a little girl.

She nailed her motorcycle license test shaming all the males in her class with her highest score in the written exam and the best time obtained during the skills test.

Writing has been her livelihood for more than ten years now, and there’s no topic she doesn’t dare tackling, from IT solutions to outdoor equipment, electronics, and now the automotive industry.

When she’s not typing, she also loves riding non-motorized two-wheelers, going on hikes with her dog, and rocking her electric guitars.
