“I am the first generation of immigrant parents to graduate, a woman who started her adult life with the ambition of being a broadcast journalist, ultimately failed and jumped from industry to industry for many years until I found a passion in legal work. National University made this dream come true.”

After immigrating from the Philippines, raising three children, and overcoming life's challenges, Cristina returned to school and discovered her passion for legal studies.

Cristina's story is a powerful reminder that determination, hard work, and belief in yourself can open the door to new possibilities.

✨ President's Circle Spotlight: Kathryn B. ✨

For Kathryn B., earning her M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Trauma Informed Systemic Therapy marked the beginning of a new chapter shaped by purpose and service.

Inspired by her personal connection to military families and trauma recovery, Kathryn pursued a path dedicated to helping others heal. Today, she is building her practice, working toward licensure, and hoping to mentor future clinicians along the way.

Her insight: “It was a testament to how much we can be stretched. I feel more prepared to handle life's stressors.”

Kathryn's journey is a reminder that growth often begins when we challenge ourselves to do hard things and trust in our ability to keep moving forward.
