About Me


Striving to become the woman God has me to be, for "a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised" (Proverbs 31:30).

News sense is really a sense of what is important, what is vital, what has color and life - what people are interested in. That's journalism.” -Burton Rascoe
"There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil." -Walter Lippmann

Drama is for the stage, fighting for the battlefield, bitterness for lemons, and hatred for the enemy... they play no role in my life. I keep it that way.

I'd like to meet:



"The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough." -George Moore

Oh, and I'm pretty gangsta' too.

CRISTINA'S BLURB:
A tragedy hit my university.
Five innocent students killed & too many left with a memory to last a lifetime.
I was not injured.
But my campus was. My school was. The town was.
As a student.
As a reporter.
As a responsibility. An obligation. A need.
...I made my way back onto ground zero.
No one asked me to come. No one expected it out of me.
But I expected it of me.
No questions asked...
And those who I worked along side with
...were no longer peers, co-workers, or fellow reporters.
No. They were family.
All boundaries disappeared, emotions surfaced and again, no questions asked.
Comfort.
Comfort knowing...
We were the only ones who could have done it.
Work now. Break down later.
Our lives will never be the same.
Our school will never be the same.
But together...we will become better.
