Highlander Highlight: A Day In The Life Of ... Cristina Maietta
6/19/2013 10:29:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
Riverside—Cristina Maietta joins the UC Riverside Volleyball program for her freshman season this fall, and gohighlanders.com got to know her a little better this summer via our Highlander Highlights series.
Cristina ...
... hails from Los Alamitos, California
... wants to learn how to snowboard
... plans on majoring in business
... is a CIF Division 1 AA Champion
... hates bugs
... will not eat tomatoes
One thing Cristina misses most about being a kid is getting away with everything.
Her favorite quote is, “When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.”
Three things she loves are dogs, cookies and cream ice cream, and the fact that she can make herself laugh.
If she could have one superpower, it would be invisibility.
Five years from now, Cristina hopes to be starting her own business.
Keep your eyes peeled all year long for additional Highlander Highlights, and get to know more about the current crop of UC Riverside's student-athletes.
To support Cristina and the rest of the student-athletes that make up our 17 intercollegiate sports, please donate to the UC Riverside Athletics Association by visiting the Association's web site.
