Cristina Alma McNeiley: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A Mexican-American woman, whose family comes from Jalpa, Zacatecas, Mexico, and Monterrey, Mexico
• The only child of Robin Andrew and Lydia McNeiley. However, I have a few dog and cat “siblings.”
• A first-generation college and post-graduate student
• A proud Butler University alumna and Butler basketball superfan. Go Dawgs!
• An avid lover of movies and TV shows - both new and old
• A loyal Chicago Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bulls fan…even when it hurts
• An artist. My mediums of choice are oil and acrylic paint.
• A food connoisseur and travel addict
• Passionate about community service, racial and social justice, and creating safe spaces for everyone to come together and share their personal stories
• A true animal lover with a serious dog obsession, especially for the love of my life - my Chihuahua, Minion
