In 2014, with nothing more than their personal laptops and a vision to create a space for Spanglish speaking Latinas like them, a sister duo team launched spanglishgirl.com, a Latina lifestyle blog.
Inspired by the success of their blog, in 2017 they began to develop a line of apparel, stationary, and novelty gift items to add to the Spanglish Girl brand through a Spanglish Girl Collection and Shop.
Cristina’s unique writing style, which embraces the use of Spanglish and centers around Latina-American life, has helped to define the Spanglish Girl brand as a celebration of the proud, independent, and unapologetic Latina woman.
Cristina is the author of the Spanglish Girl Diaries, a blog series loosely based on her life. In addition to being an entrepreneur and writer, she has worked in the fields of public relations and law.
In her spare time, Cristina enjoys reading, traveling, writing, and being in nature.
