Hi! I’m Carina! I’m a junior at Northeastern University doing my Co-op at Caught in Southie; I’m very excited to be here! My favorite Boston spots are Chez Vous Roller Rink and Show Malatang- you can find me there most weekends! I love hanging out with my friends, reading, pickles, hockey, roller blading, and anything to do with music. Reach me at [email protected] to talk Boston!
