Founder/Editor-in-Chief
Hello and welcome to The Christian Girl, an online magazine committed to awakening the beauty and purpose of being a Christian woman in every area of life. I’m Natalia and I am very excited to have you here! We have been praying for you ever since God gave us the vision for this magazine. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I currently reside in Orange County, CA. I graduated from Cottonwood Leadership College with a degree in Biblical Studies. That is also where I met my husband of two years who is my best friend, encourager, and better-than-I-could-have-ever-imaged man of my dreams! I started The Christian Girl out of a desire to provide an online space where women could hang out and be inspired, encouraged, and grow in their faith. I am passionate about helping women pursue the fullness of the life God has for them. I am a business geek and bookworm at heart. Some of my favorite things include worship, lattes, bargain shopping, Christmas, cooking, mornings + breakfast, and trying new restaurants with my hubby. I am an introvert by nature which simply means I would love to go out and get a cup of coffee with you one-on-one so that I can get to know all about you versus going out in a larger group. I believe life is meant to be lived with grace and simplicity and that it is a beautiful adventure ready to be unveiled on a daily basis as we walk with God. That is just a little bit about me but I would LOVE to get to know you! Feel free to send me an e-mail and tell me all about how Jesus has romanced you and about the desires he has placed on your heart. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! My name is Clarissa. I live in sunny southern California with my handsome husband of three years, Jonathan, and our doggy, Darcy. I am currently working at an elementary school with special education students and adore my job. To wind down and recover from the day, I love to cook. I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen, and will be sharing many of my culinary ventures with you here! In my spare time I enjoy reading, game nights, and gathering together with family and friends, but my absolute favorite thing would be spending time with my husband. We love boba dates, home improvement projects, vacationing, and exploring historic homes and cities together, but when it comes down to it we are really home bodies at heart. Give me a quiet night at home with him and a cup of herbal tea, pure bliss! Last, but certainly not least, I am so thankful to Jesus Christ, my Savior. He holds my heart, completely, and has blessed me beyond measure. It is my desire to be a vessel wherever He needs me.
