Cristina was born and raised in Spain. She studied at the University of Sevilla, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature. After graduating, Cristina moved to the UK to teach Languages at the University of Newcastle as an Assistant Professor.
Seeking a Secondary school environment, Cristina then moved back to Spain to complete a Master’s Degree in Secondary Education, gaining her Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and a Master’s in Interpreting and Translation. After completing her Postgraduate Education, she returned to the UK to teach Spanish across different schools and cities, lastly in London, at a large Secondary school rated Outstanding by OFSTED, where she worked for 5 years.

Cristina is now back at Britannica, where she has taken on the role of Deputy Head of Secondary, in charge of Pastoral Care.
