Cristina has been playing the piano since first grade. Thanks to the patience and grace of her piano teachers, she slowly discovered her love for playing the piano, and eventually even majored in music in college (BA in Music Ministry from the University of Sioux Falls). As a piano teacher, she aims to do the same with her students, providing an atmosphere of care and learning, with goals of progress over perfection, while catering to each student’s needs. Cristina also works at a local church and enjoys spending time with her cat, reading, doing puzzles, and crocheting while watching a movies.
