Christina

OakForest Educator

Date Started At LACP: August 2024

My name is Cristina Castro, and I recently moved back to the Bay Area after spending some years in Las Vegas. I’m currently pursuing a career in child development, a field I’m deeply passionate about. I have three years of early childhood teaching experience, I’m continuously inspired by the opportunity to make a positive impact on young lives. I come from a big, supportive family that has always encouraged me to embrace new challenges.

My faith is central to who I am, and I draw strength and guidance from it daily. I’m guided by the belief expressed in Psalms 139:14:

"I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

This verse reminds me to focus on what truly matters and to appreciate the unique path I’m on.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, and spending quality time with my family. My core values include God, family, community, country, and my Cuban heritage. These principles shape my approach to life and work. One of my personal goals is to travel to Israel and Japan, among other destinations, and to create lasting memories with my loved ones.
