photos I love and took
Hey, you.
My name is Kristina Valdez.
I am a journalist who loves neon signs, to-do lists,
afternoons in the library, lychee martinis, pink sunsets,
summer barbecues, theater popcorn, early mornings and high heels.
I specialize in features, trend research, interviews, reviews, copy editing
and pitching. I write about products, pop culture, fashion,
literature, TV shows, politics and current events.
