About Me
Hi! My name is Mary Christina Brown (ÐœÑри КриÑтина Браун). (People call me "MC" for short). I was born on a military base in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I have lived in other cities, but spent most of my life being raised in San Francisco (Bay Area). Being raised in a diverse city like San Francisco has made me very open-minded, free-spirited, and cultured. I consider myself pretty down-to-earth, lots of fun to be around, and passionate. I found passion in the arts at an early age. I grew up in the performing arts in San Francisco being exposed to dance, music, martial arts, and theater. I also worked in the IT field in Silicon Valley as a Network Tech and Internet Systems Engineer. I troubleshot networks. As much as it was great pay and very steady, i needed to move on to working in the entertainment industry. I love being around creative people! Computers were fun, but didnt fullfill my artistic desires. LOL. I'm very grateful for what I have and what has been given to me. I have no regrets and I keep moving forward with a grin on my face. I love life! Struggles come and go, but it only makes me stronger and wiser.
