Cristina,

Class of 2016

“The lessons that I learned here at The Wooden Floor extend beyond the dance studio and can be applied to life. They helped me do well in high school, and I know that they will help me through college and beyond. I am attending UCLA and pursuing a degree in nursing. I am one of 13 siblings. One of my sisters has cerebral palsy, and she is the inspiration behind my decision to pursue a career in nursing. This is something that I am passionate about and with hard work and dedication, I am confident I will achieve.” 

Cristina was named valedictorian of her high school class, and currently attends the University of California, Los Angeles.
