Originally from Northern California, Christina relocated to Miami in 2007 after having completed the Florida International University summer intensive program in Haitian Creole.  She received her Master's degree in Africa & African Diaspora Studies at FIU in 2011. Christina is now a second year doctoral student at FIU's Global and Sociocultural Studies program, with a concentration in Geography.  Christina's research interests are varied. Her doctoral project is still being developed though she aims to look at interracial relationships to understand how colonial legacies are articulated and shape identities in the post-colonial period. Christina's work will privilege analyses through critical race studies, critical feminist geographies, gender and sexuality studies, and poststructural and postcolonial studies.
