Posing Wall: Meet Christina

Posted by Christina | Friday January 24, 2014

Hey everyone! My name is Christina and I am the new editorial intern here at Chick Advisor!
I am so excited to have my first internship experience and can't wait to share it with all of you.
Since I'll be sticking around for a while, I think I should let you all know a few things about me! I was born and raised in Toronto and I am currently attending the University of Toronto where I'm in my third year studying English.

The life of an English Major is never boring, especially when you're involved in a college council like me! As part of my escape from the insanity of school, I plan charitable events for students across campus. I've worked with charities such as Movember and the Canadian Cancer Society.

I also have a large collection of purses. Some may call it an addiction, I call it investing in my future museum of fashion. My newest addition is a plum Rebecca Minkoff quilted mini affair bag.

Travelling is my favourite way to take a break from the busy city. Whether it is laying on a sandy beach or day dreaming about the pasta in Italy, my mind is always on travelling somewhere else. I recently travelled to Mexico and Portugal.

Last year my best friend and I braved the colour bombs of Toronto's first Colour Me Rad 5k race. Minus the rainbow that stayed on my body for about a week, I would definitely do it again.

I enjoy writing short stories and poetry. Some of my favourite authors include Scott Fitzgerald and (my guilty pleasure/favourite break-up read) Nicholas Sparks. I am also a Shakespeare lover. I guess when you're forced to read the whole Shakespeare anthology, his words can easily sway you.

Let me know what's on your reading list for this year, or if you're starting (or started) your own fabulous purse collection!

I can't wait to hear from all of you in the Chick community!

I'm currently reading You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers and am loving it! Last week I read Daughters Who Walk This Path by Yejide Kilanko (it started off alright but I lost interest halfway through) and before that was Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand, and I highly recommend it. Amazing story, plus it's being made into a movie, so read it before it comes out :)
