She lives in Miami. Her name is Christina Swanson and she grew up on Bainbridge Island, left early to go to Seattle Central Community College, went to WSU on a swimming scholarship but quit over conflicts with her coach, and ended up in Miami, where she's pursuing a professional boxing career--which it turns out is a pretty tough thing to do, especially in the women's circuit, where there's plenty of corruption and fighter no-shows. Her story, "Million-Dollar Maybe," is in our sister paper, Miami New Times. Check it out.
