My name is Krisserin (pronounced Chris-Aaron). I'm a writer, mother, and growth marketer living in Los Angeles, CA.

CANARY LIKE THE BIRD.

I was born and raised in Southern California and am reminded every day how much I love my home. The diversity of the people, the food, summers so hot they bake your bones and so long that when Fall comes it feels like a trick. Happiness will always be the smell of jasmine and orange blossoms just after the rainbow sherbet sunset fades to dusk. We have the beaches that remind us how big the world is, the mountains to remind us of how small we are, and the deserts that teach us about the hardiness of life. Most of my days are spent heading up marketing at start-ups, but if I'm not at work I'm in K-town with my bff Nancy eating pork belly at Dan Sung Sa, at home having dance parties with my daughters, or writing, or reading, or most likely watching Korean Dramas. I care about art, social justice, equity, and leaving behind a better world for our children. Also I kill Under Pressure at karaoke. If we have anything in common, please drop me a note to say hello.
