She studied abroad in Madrid and was very involved in her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. At 22, only months after starting her career at CBRE, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She has received extraordinary care at USC Keck Medical Center; and new medications and therapies (under the direction of Dr. Lilyana Amezcua and Dr. Daniel Pelletier) have created remarkable results. Christina feels multiple sclerosis has given her the opportunity to adjust her perspective and grow. In 2014 she traveled to Lourdes, France with the Knights and Dames of Malta -- bathing in the healing waters. Christina has always been very religious, and her faith has helped her accept the challenges life has thrown her way. “Although I never imagined my life would take this particular path, I am confident that I will be able to overcome the challenges I will be faced with in the future,” said Christina. “Don’t get me wrong, I am scared for what may be in store, but I have a tremendous amount of faith and I know we will find a cure.” She is so appreciative of her family, friends and everyone who has helped support the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
