20 Questions with Christina Rodriguez

If Christina didn’t work in PR, she’d definitely have her own show on HGTV where she transforms people’s boring apartments into perfectly styled living spaces that would make any professional interior designer swoon. And during commercial breaks, she’d whip up an expertly crafted, Instagram-worthy charcuterie board while also giving the homeowner a complete style makeover. (We’re kind of obsessed with this other side of her.) But lucky for us, Christina chose the PR life, so we get to benefit from her other amazing talent: media relations. Christina brings the heart of a chess player (yeah, she’s a former competitive chess player, too!) to her work in how focused, strategic, and creative she is, whether she’s landing big stories for Caribou Coffee and NuZee or dreaming up the next influencer campaign for Authority Brands.
