About me
"When Christa is not wearing her professional hat as the Media and Communications Director for the Greater Merrimack Valley CVB, she is a poet, a writer, a photographer, an artist, and even a Charlie Chaplin Impersonator. And she also happens to be neurodivergent. In Christa’s own words, “Maybe it’s my neurodivergence, or my strong sense of curiosity and wonder, or the never-ending itch of self-expression, or its maybe, it’s all-in-one, whatever the driving force, I have always had a need to be creative, seek knowledge and wisdom, and to explore all the twists and turns that come about from this need to know, to understand more, to explore complex thoughts and ideas, and express my humanity while attempting to connect with the world around me. It has been with me since childhood, and it isn’t going anywhere. It is who I am. Writing came to me, strongly, in middle school. I had a hard time socializing freely and writing gave me the voice I lacked in other circumstances. Poetic lines would appear in my mind. I’d run for a pen and paper and like water, the rest of the lines flowed freely. I felt alive. In these moments, it is as if I am one with all of existence. To this day, when the words flow, I feel the most me I could ever be. This is why I will always be a writer."""
