Hi, I‘m Kristina Perez
“ With all the distractions in this world, kids need people who will point them back to Jesus. The Way, The Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). ”
Hi there! My name is Kristina Perez, and I'm thrilled to connect with you. I'm not just a School Counselor but also a wife and proud mother of three wonderful sons. With a rich experience of 18 years working with children, my journey began as a Child Protection Specialist in the vibrant city of NYC. During my 11 years in that role, my heart was fully dedicated to advocating for the safety and well-being of children.
While pursuing my studies at St. Johns University to become a School Counselor, I embarked on a new chapter in Florida. This change allowed me to view my work with students from a fresh perspective. It was truly amazing to witness the tremendous impact a responsible and caring adult can have on a student's life. Working closely with families became my passion as we collaboratively strived for the betterment of each student.
However, one thing I realized was missing—the freedom to openly share my faith in Jesus, who I believe is The Way, The Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). Unfortunately, public schools have certain restrictions in this regard, but it hasn't dampened my spirits.
Feeling a deep calling to utilize my skills and talents for the Lord's Kingdom, I find solace in incorporating prayer and Godly principles into my coaching and consulting. As an educator and devoted follower of "The Way," I wholeheartedly understand the growing need for young people to be guided on the right path (Prov. 22:6). Equipping them with essential life skills is vital in shaping them to be influential agents of positive change.
I'm excited to connect with you and make a difference together!
