"Everything happens for a reason"
My name is Kristina Lee; but I have gone by the name Kristie for my whole life and tend to only refer to myself as Kristina professionally. The quote above summarizes my outlook on life; I tend to take things as how they are and don't dwell on past experiences or past mistakes. I fully believe life is a matter of what you make it and if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Life hinges on luck and hard work, so I do whatever is in my power to succeed. Personally, I believe that life isn't fair and it shouldn't be. If you want it to be a way it is up to you to make it that way. I like living life to the fullest, which means I am always up for a new opportunity or experience.
I have high priorities when it comes to my career and I intend on getting ahead of everyone to do that.
One thing to note about me is I have a lot more DRIVE then others. Challenges are an opportunity to get ahead, and barely ever bother me. I earned a blackbelt in Tae-Kwon-Do and have won against many on a national scale in the Junior Olympics because I am driven to achieve. I always am testing new limits with myself to be better.
While I am driven professionally, I balance myself out with a pursuit of happiness and adventure. I like to take on new things. Modeling is not a career for me, it's a past time that makes me happy and is a great stress relief. I love my sorority Kappa Delta because my sisters give me memories that will last a lifetime. My puppy, Kovu, is my baby. My friends and family are of absolute importance to me because they make me, me and I wouldn't be here without them. I am obsessed with all things Disney and remain a kid at heart. (I hold an annual pass to Disneyland and use it quite frequently and will be going to Florida to participate in the Disney College Program during Fall 2010!).
I love sour candy. I have a sweet-tooth. I would rather eat dessert than food.
I have a weakness for puppies and recently kitties.
