Getting Involved

My parents felt as though getting involved was equivalent to causing trouble, and as long as you kept a distance, you would be safe. But I believe that, sometimes, getting into trouble and making waves are necessary. At what point does a person decide that it’s better to stay safe than to make an impact?

Hello, internet wayfarer!

I suppose it is customary to do some sort of introduction when one first starts a blog, and even if it isn’t, I am going to venture one. My name is Cristina.

I am:
• an idealist
• pro-choice
• liberal
• an environmentist
• spiritual
• pro-immigrant
• left-handed
• pro-woman
• not much of a natural dancer, unfortunately

I traded in my South Florida residence for one in the greater Boston area about three years ago. Currently, I am trying to shift from sales to nonprofit work, specifically in the realm of public policy, social justice, and civil rights. I want to make a difference, not just a sales quota. This blog will focus on my journey into the world of nonprofits, as well as some of the wisdom I’ve gained along the way.

That’s about it, in a nutshell! Thanks for stopping by my little island on the web.
