Admissions Essays, Brain Training in the Digital Age
“Thanks to Cristina’s help with his essays, my son got into several of the colleges on his list, including some real stretch schools. He is now attending one of his top pick schools, on a full scholarship.”
– Crysti (Walnut Creek)
Cristina began her foray into teaching as a Bay Area 5th grader and bookworm, helping younger students build their reading skills. Even at a young age, she recognized that every student has the intelligence and capacity to learn, but that not every student learns in the same way. By building trusting relationships with her pupils and trying to see learning through their eyes, Cristina helps her students gain confidence in their learning abilities.
Cristina holds a B.A. in Psychology from UC San Diego, as well as an L.L.M. in European Law from Université Panthéon-Assas Paris II and a J.D. from Boston University School of Law. After some time working as a legal writing specialist, her passion for teaching brought Cristina to Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany, where for the past four years, she has been working as Lecturer in US law and international law. She is also conducting PhD research on regulatory approaches to false information online, a topic she is deeply invested in.
Throughout her professional journey, Cristina has continued to work with students on college essays, in an effort to pay forward the kindness and assistance that helped her navigate the college application process as the first in her family to attend a four-year university.
When Cristina isn’t teaching, you can find her traveling the world, most likely in search of another dog to pet.
