Hi, I’m Cristina, a writer and bibliophile in Pittsburgh. My work explores our identities and relationships through disability and immigrant experiences. Welcome!
In 2020, I received the Deaf Artists Residency award at the Anderson Center. Carnaval, Upstate, a short story about language and belonging, appeared in Peatsmoke Journal (Spring 2021).
Here you’ll find my ramblings about all things literary and my (very old) short stories that I keep around to remind myself that we can all improve.
