Call Christi at 907-459-7590.
Christi Hang grew up in Houston, Texas, and studied journalism at the University of North Texas and political science at the University of Leeds in England. The highlight of her student days was winning a costume contest dressed as Twinkie snack cake with four friends. This is her first job and although she is far from home, she's having a good time learning something new every day. Christi enjoys good conversations, art in its various forms and traveling. She thinks she looks like an absent-minded chemist in her Web site photo.
