Cristina brings a passion and inventiveness for creating learning spaces and opportunities and couples that with the requisite deft touch when managing her team toward achieving their goals. Most importantly, Cristina is genuine; the swift bond of trust that she formed with me when we first met has only gotten stronger as we've worked together. I have been consistently dazzled by Cristina's ability to simultaneously manage the complexities of an ever-iterating organization, while always maintaining a crystalline focus on what matters most: the consistent and compassionate care of the children and families in our community.
