Cristina Dam has proven over and over again that she is a motivator, leader, and innovator. Her aggressive approach to expand her education was evident from an early age. She was admitted into college early by special consideration and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in only two and a half years. From there, she went on the fast track to earn her Master’s degree and has been going full speed ahead ever since. In addition, she also holds many other certifications and accolades related to her field.
Her life tells a story of passion, dedication and heart striving to always make a difference in the world and people she interacts with. From childhood being on the debate team, running for class president and organizing campaigns at school among countless other activities and engagements. As she grew up this pursuit has just expanded in the communities that she has been apart on. Some examples of this are creating a Los Angeles-based program where she worked one-on-one with parolees to transition and reacclimatize them back into society. In addition, she also organized and founded a substance abuse prevention program for inner city youth.
The longing and desire to make a bigger and bigger impact has kept Cristina holding the creative space for what can she do next. She lives by Einstein’s quote “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, and imagination encircles the world.” She stated working one on one with clients doing healing work and quickly moved into groups and motivational speaking. That led her to open her healing center Liberate Emporium at 25 years old. Cristina quickly moved on to create even bigger things and started her travel and social networking company Xplorer. Understanding the major impact media has on the world has caused Cristina to also write and create numerous TV show concepts and form her own production company, Liberation Productions. Believing anyone can do anything they put their mind to, Cristina wants to help others create amazing entertainment concepts that will help educate, inspire and change the world.
