Christen grew up on Long Island and played viola in her high school’s orchestra and was on the varsity volleyball team. She is a serious dog lover and hopes a poodle or corgi will soon make her a dog mom! In her downtime, Christen loves to shop, frequenting brick and mortar stores so she can actually see the merchandise and keep abreast of trends. She’s a huge movie buff and loves anything with a twist. Christen is a die-hard Harry Potter fan. In fact, her favorite quote is attributed to a Harry Potter character, Albus Dumbledore: “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” You won’t be surprised to learn that her favorite movie is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Other film faves are Shutter Island and Titantic. Christen also enjoys television and enjoys binge watching Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy. She’s into Pop-Punk music from the 2000s and is Taylor Swift’s #1 fan! Although she’s only been out of the country once (a visit to Ireland), Christen adores traveling. Her top destination is anywhere near a beach and she cites Maine and Miami as magical vacation spots. Cookies ’n Cream is her current fudge flavor of choice.
