My name is Christina and I am a thirty-three year old living in what is lovingly known as the “High Desert”, in San Bernardino County in Southern California (Hesperia/Victorville). 

I grew up within a two-hour drive from where I am now, born in Long Beach to a mother who started an in home daycare in 1988. This started my lifelong affection for children, as you can see me in pictures holding babies and little ones with a beaming smile (half the time they were over 3/5 of my size 😂). 

Since elementary school I was in the gifted and talented program (GATE), with perfect grade point averages. Winning numerous awards, like student of the month, then my life took a tumultuous turn due to some family issues. Still, I persevered, having to frequently change schools due to moves and instability, I graduated at 16 years old with honors. 

I entered college a bit later, and graduated with a degree in behavioral neuroscience/biological psychology with an minor in chemistry from California Staye University, San Bernardino. With disciplinary honors, cum laude, doing a professional research project with a seasoned cognitive psychologist tenure professor which taught me to be an phenomenal writer and researcher.

Currently, I am a graduate student at Grand Canyon University with a perfect GPA, halfway done with the program. My major prepares one to become a college professor or STEM teacher, Biology with an Emphasis in Education, a Masters of Science.
