Before becoming a Patch editor, she contributed features and news stories to Half Moon Bay Patch.com after the site first launched in 2010. She also filled in as guest editor for weeks at a time for both the Pacifica and Half Moon Bay Patch sites. As a freelance journalist, she specialized in tourism and travel, environmental and cultural resources, and arts and entertainment reporting. Her profiles, reviews and feature articles have appeared in the Marin Independent Journal, San Mateo County Times, San Francisco Examiner, and Metropolitan magazine, among other books and publications. Christa lives in El Granada with her husband and two daughters, ages 6 and 9, who desperately want a pet. When she's not working on an article or covering an event in Pacifica or Half Moon Bay, she can be found driving her kids "over the hill" to school, biking or running the coastal trail or frequenting antique stores and eBay for designer vintage jewelry.
