About Christine Persaud

Christine has been covering the consumer tech space for the last 20+ years - yes, before the iPhone was even invented! She has reviewed dozens of headphones and wireless earbuds, portable Bluetooth speakers, wearables, and more.

For the last 12+ years, she has also covered entertainment, writing in-depth TV show reviews and features for sites like WiFi HiFi, Movieweb, Collider, and CBR. If you're looking for a TV show recommendation, she'll be happy to oblige!

She earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honors degree with a Double Major in Communications and Psychology from York University in her hometown of Toronto, Ontario Canada. Christine started her career working a tech business magazine, working her way up to editor. She switched to freelance in 2014.

When she's not working (which is rare!), Christine loves to spend time with her family and friends, and relax in front of the TV with a glass of wine and a hot new show, which is kind of still work! Follow her on Instagram and X at @christineTechCA.
