Hi there! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m Christine.
I’m a South African-Canadian, born and currently living in Vancouver, Beautiful British Columbia.
I’ve lived and worked on the Gold Coast in Australia.
While completing my undergrad, I worked as an editor at my alma mater’s campus publication, the Capilano Courier. I reported on housing, transit, activism and student, municipal and provincial government and ultimately became the publication’s editor-in-chief. I was shortlisted for a JHM Labour Reporting award in December 2017 for my coverage of the Capilano cleaners’ fight for a living wage.
I’ve also worked as a staff writer for Pursuit Media, a lifestyle publication for entrepreneurial-minded women; for Kids Help Phone, where I’ve been writing editorial content for Homes for the Holidays magazine since 2018; and a marketing coordinator for Canada Wide Media—the biggest magazine publisher in Western Canada—planning events for BCBusiness, Vancouver magazine and Western Living. Two of the events I helped coordinate, the 30th annual Restaurant Awards and Top 100 networking event, were both named Top 100 Events in Vancouver by BizBash in 2019.
I’m currently working as a dental assistant in Deep Cove, and moonlighting as a dental hygiene student.
I love all thing ancient Egypt. I’m currently editing my first novel, which takes place during the tumultuous last years of the Ptolemaic dynasty before it was folded into the Roman Empire. For more historical factoids, see my blog!
