Cristina Rangel

Where are you from?

I was born in Mexico City, Mexico and then I moved to San Diego when I was only six years old. I completed my elementary, middle, and high school education in San Diego before moving to Orange County where I lived for ten years! While there, I attended Biola University to complete both my Bachelor's and Master's degree. I moved back to San Diego in 2016, and let me tell you, there's no place like it!
