Christina has been biking for a while in addition to many other activities, including but not limited to: running, yoga, paddling, and rock climbing. Her hidden talents include TikTok, being resilient, and being mediocre at a large number of things (see also: biking, running, yoga, paddling, and rock climbing). She loves setting big goals and grinding to achieve them. Half marathons? Check. Marathon? Check. PhD in statistics? Check!

Christina's main purpose in life is to dote on her husky, Sloan, and to convince her spouse to make sandwiches for her while working from home.

Christina was raised in Northeast Iowa with her family. She is the daughter of a refugee. In terms of language, Christina knows about 100 words in Mandarin, most of which are about food (priorities!). She can order sandwiches, croissants, and lattes in French (also priorities). She also knows some entertaining phrases in Vietnamese.
