In addition to her underground newspaper, Cristina writes for her local newspaper. > > Cristina also joined the Fair Lawn High School's football team. She lifted weights with the rest of her all-male players, while having to endure the stares and criticism. While her coaches tried to undermine her abilities, Cristina made it clear that she is tough by showing up to every practice, and every game. > > Cristina is currently interning at the Third Wave Foundation and has previously interned with the Obama Campaign and the United States Congress. > > She's a feminist; a football player; a writer; and a straight-A student.
