Cristina Birdsall has lived in the Philippines for most of her life. When she graduated high school, she came to the U.S. as an immigrant. When Tina first moved here, she had a hard time learning our language, because in the Philippines, they pronounce everything differently. “ I honestly don’t know where I would be right now if I wouldn’t have come to the U.S, as an immigrant, when I did. Although I do get homesick now and then.” Tina is very happy she is now a Citizen of the United States. One of the reasons she came to the United States., was not only because she wanted to explore the world, but also because she met the man she wanted to be with. Tina is now married to Rick, and they chose to live in Neenah, Wisconsin. Tina and her husband Rick go back to the Philippines every other year, to visit all of her family and friends that still live there, not all of her family lives back at home though. She has two younger sisters that also live in Wisconsin.
Tina works as a daycare teacher at 21 for Tots Day Care Center, a five-star review center. She enjoys many aspects of living in Neenah. Cristina loves all of the weather here. “I love all seasons, they are all just so beautiful”. It was always so hot and humid in the Philippines that they never really get any precipitation. Tina never saw snow in the Philippines and loves it!
