Born and raised in the outskirts of Mexico City, Crista Camacho immigrated to the US in the 1980s in search of a better life and future. Aware of the injustices of the world from a young age, Crista was motivated to focus her career where she could make a difference: the classroom. As a teacher, she has incorporated Holocaust Education and curriculum into her high school classes for the past two decades. Being both an avid reader and a life-long learner, Crista has also completed multiple master’s degrees during her teaching career. To further foster her innate need to learn and understand, she travels and familiarizes herself with the history and locals of the places she visits. She is an advocate for Holocaust awareness, tolerance and social justice.
