Allow me to introduce myself
My name is HOVChristina Xu, and I’m the newest member of the Breadpig team. HI!
I am THIS excited to be here!
Before joining the Breadpig crew, I wrote my undergrad thesis about the history of instant messaging, and then became the Outreach Coordinator at MIT’s Center for Future Civic Media, a research group that built and evaluated technological platforms to inform and empower communities. On the side, I am also the proud co-founder of ROFLCon, a trustee of the Boston Awesome Foundation, one of the proprietors of a coworking space in Boston called p.irateship, part of a crew making a documentary about Chinese-Jamaicans in reggae, and a DJ for a weekly radio show called Global Frequency.
tl;dr I really love the internets, fixing the world, food (see above), and music with bass so loud it makes your organs bounce.
I’ll be doing a little of everything for Breadpig, but I’m most excited to experiment with ways of directing the goodwill, resources, and expertise of our legion towards those projects that can make the biggest impact with them. In essence, to make it easier for well-intentioned geeks to do good for the world and have fun while doing it.
