Paige Christie
The Short Version: Paige is a huge fan of wild spaces, national parks,native plants, writing, reading, belly dancing and bicycles. Get outside and breathe!
The Long Version: Paige was born in Montana and raised in Maine, which makes her, by nature, an opinionated Yankee in love with rural living. The fact that her mother is southern means she sometimes says y'all and really likes cornbread and bluegrass.
Paige is passionate about wild country, mountain towns, cold rivers, deep winters, the sound of skis on snow, NPR, long bike rides, brownies, red sunrises, belly dancing, rhythmic music, creative thinking, and trying new things. She believes in the power of words and images and wants to use them to share unique visions of the world.
Besides Maine, Paige has lived in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, New York, Arizona, Montana and North Carolina. The craziest job she ever held was Senior Weathersticker, which is much too bizarre to explain here, but if you run into her, you might ask about it. Paige brings to the world of online article writing her many years experience a variety of fields:
Photography: Product, Award Winning outdoor sports & recreation images, wedding photography, nature, brochure and website advertising.
Writing: website content creation, blogging, twitter, fiction and creative non-fiction.
Website Content Management: Content Page Management, Ecommerce Product Management and SEO, HTML, CSS, Website Navigation Design, Joomla Management, Dreamweaver, Photoshop
Education - Yeah the Formal Stuff:
