Hear how P.S. You’re A Genius helped a reader!

About Kristina Zavaleta:

Growing up, Kristina’s family had a multicultural household. With her father from Peru and her mother from the States, she experienced both cultures in her upbringing - whether that was while they resided in their humble home in Georgia or during their summer stays in Lima, Peru. It's where Kristina grew a fascination for cultures and languages - now speaking English, Spanish, still learning but able to speak conversationally in French, and also able to translate classical Chinese. She received a Bachelor's in Liberal Arts with a focus on Classic Texts and the Humanities. Specifically, it was known as a Great Books Program with very small seminar style classes, designed for the students to be able to debate and discuss the coursework with fellow students and professors acting as guides and peers. It was the only Great Books Program in the world that incorporates both Eastern and Western Classics into a BA degree. Kristina has a professional background in sales, marketing, and public relations, and in the past 2 years worked primarily with marketing for nonprofits. Now, she is a writer, entrepreneur, and also a content creator for her upcoming podcast, Innate Wisdom.
