Christina Eichelkraut, Patch Staff

Christina is a print journalist and digital communications consultant who has written everything from general assignment newspaper articles to ad copy for Australian shipping crates. She also bakes, is a fountain pen enthusiast and tends to blog about being car-free in Phoenix, Arizona. Christina's been known to read past her bedtime in joyous disregard of her alleged adulthood and is happiest when life is accompanied by the sound of her keyboard clacking.

Christina's journo cred stems from a B.A. in Mass Communications from Franklin Pierce University, though it was court trials, zoning meetings, highway accidents, and school board funding kerfuffles that taught her what she really needs to know about reporting.
