Personal Story
Growing up as a ballet dancer pursuing a professional career, Cristina learned early the value of hard work, dedication, discipline, and resilience. After graduating with a degree in performing arts, she realized her true passion was not only performing, but also teaching and helping others pursue their own athletic careers. While teaching at small ballet schools and nonprofit organizations, Cristina discovered a strong affinity for administration and developed a deep appreciation for medical environments. She always knew she was destined for a career that could combine her diverse experiences and strengths; one centered on building relationships, nurturing others, and helping people grow. Finding Custom Performance felt like finding her dream job wrapped up with a bow.
From Cristina’s steady climb from front desk administrator to Co-Director, what Cristina has always loved most about Custom is working with and for its clients. There is something so special about watching clients persevere through every stage of physical therapy: choosing recovery, building consistency, healing from injury, setting goals, achieving them, and beginning again. Witnessing that journey from start to finish and cheering clients on through each milestone continues to inspire and motivate her every day. Although Cristina is not a runner herself, she recognizes many of the shared qualities between dancers and runners, allowing her to naturally connect with and support clients.
Cristina is passionate about creating a supportive, uplifting environment where clients and staff alike feel empowered to grow, heal, and succeed every step of the way.
