TESTIMONIES
I have been published with Cristina over nine times. We have traveled to California, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, and Germany to present our papers at conferences. Publishing has given me the opportunity to contribute to academic research and meet people from all over the world. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. -John LaPerla-
“I went to a conference with my mom and watched her present a paper she had published. I was so proud of her, she was so confident in her research.” -Brayden-
