Cristina Perez, Attorney, Television Show & Radio Personality, Author

Cristina Perez is a multi-faceted woman of the ages.  She is a successful lawyer, television personality, radio host, entrepreneur/business owner, author, and national columnist.  At the foundation of all of these roles, however, lies Cristina’s complete devotion to her family, friends, and loved ones.  This kind of sane prioritizing may be perhaps rare, but for Cristina . . . well, it comes directly from her family roots.

The daughter of Colombian immigrants, Cristina was born in New York City, NY, U.S.A.   She lived in all types of places: from one of the poorest neighborhoods of New York City, to the big city of Guadalajara, Mexico, to the border town of San Ysidro, CA to Hartford, Connecticut, and then to California, which she has now called home for over twenty years.

Growing up, Cristina was exposed to all walks of life, cultures, and differing problems facing each community.  She watched her parents struggle with racism, finances, and adapting to the U.S. culture with a foreign language.  Cristina learned to speak English around the age of 10 and today has mastered both languages.  With her unique and well-rounded background, Cristina credits her family’s example and desire to remain close to her heritage and culture for all of her personal and professional achievements.
