My name is Ana Cristina Baquerizo, born in Guayaquil, Ecuador on September 18th, 2003. I am double majoring in Psychology BS and Child Development BA at Texas Christian University. I am passionate about how the brain works, and learning how lifestyle, nutrition habits, and mindfulness can prevent mental health issues. I work at The Boller Review, and at the Karin Purvis Institute of Child Development as a Research Assistant. I really like reading, and interviewing each of The Boller Review nominees, and seeing how passionate they are about their projects. Some things I love to do in my free time are dancing alone in my room, walking, reading, eating, and spending time with the ones I love.
