Meet Cristina Rivera, a decorated wordsmith, compassionate empath and one of the few human beings on earth capable of speaking exclusively in finished prose. When she’s not raising her fur-child, Daisy the dog, she’s exploring the globe or visiting her family on the colorful island of Puerto Rico. Her passion for journalism and writing caught fire in high school, where she earned a position as the culture editor, and eventually coeditor-in-chief.

She currently holds a position as a Content Manager for MOJO Ad, where she does work for Chevrolet. During college, she also worked in special events, public relations and marketing at places such as the Saint Louis Zoo, The Vox Agency and the MU Cambio Center. After graduation, she is considering a career in family law, so that she can help protect the rights of children and their families to live prosperously and thrive.
