CRISTIEmarie is the pseudonym of Cristina Maria Golhiardi Malachias for Fiction Literature. Cristina was born in São Bernardo do Campo, and she currently lives in the city of São Paulo with her husband, their daughter and son. She majored in Mathematics with emphasis on Data Processing, a course equivalent to Computer Science, and has a postgraduate degree in Information Technology management. She has been working in this area ever since.

The connection with Art emerged in childhood: she was a child fascinated by narratives and illustrations. But the teenager most fascinated by Mathematics opted for Computing, and the illustrious companies like Monteiro Lobato and Hans Christian Andersen failed to soften the marks left by the background in Exact Sciences. When she finished college, Cristina went through an extremely rational phase and only years later, with the arrival of maternity, she was able to reconcile with Fiction Literature. From this point on, she read a little of everything, and many books just to check trends. Reading silently taught Cristina how to write, with the reinforcement of the courses that her curiosity seduced her to attend: book writing, cinema script, artistic drawing, advertising design, illustration, animation... 

Because of her writing skills, which are not very common in Exact Sciences, Cristina was invited to lead the area of ​​proposals and to create a repository of reusable content for her employer. She closely followed the difficulty that technical teams encountered when translating solution into benefits, so that the text could be understood by non-technical potential evaluators of the proposed technology services. She decided to pursue a specialization in Communications to acquire a more structured knowledge that would help her deal with that situation. Upon course completion, after delivering her monograph on knowledge narratives, in which communication was studied as a mediator of organizational learning, Cristina realized that her curiosity,  rather than decreasing, had increased.

She was then determined to earn a master's degree. However, in order to be worth the time to be invested, the subject matter would have to be relevant not only professionally, opening the possibility of providing consulting services and teaching classes on Knowledge Management, but also to another area of ​​activity that began to emerge as professional: narratives, embracing the enchanted universe of stories. She needed to reconcile both interests, to bring the worlds together. In a conversation with a friend an idea came to light: to explore the knowledge embodied in Alice's saga. The author, Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician like Cristina Maria Golhiardi Malachias; The named author, Lewis Carroll, was a writer as CRISTIEmarie. And so Cristina completed her master's degree exploring the organizational narrative functions, and Alice was one of the use cases analyzed in the "Share Knowledge" function. Of mathematics, logically.
