Christina is finishing up her final year of her MFA in Creative Nonfiction at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, and has a podcast called What We Keep, about the physical artifacts that narrate our lives. She has a BS in Biology from Furman University, and is interested in the intersection between science and storytelling. Christina's younger sister, Ashley, is the inspiration and the subject of many of her essays, and Christina is writing a book about the experience of growing up with a sibling with an intellectual disability. Her work has appeared in 1966: A Journal of Creative Nonfiction. You can find her at @whatwekeeppod on Twitter, and at whatwekeeppodcast.com.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.
