About Christina Torres - Producer

Christina is the producer for The HealthyPlace TV Show. She is a true Texan and proud to say she is born and raised in San Antonio.

While working for a large, San Antonio-based financial services company for many years, she knew it was time to call it quits and pursue her childhood dream of working in the television broadcast industry.

After a lot of struggling and late nights, she was able to obtain her degree in Television Broadcasting from Our Lady of the Lake University. At the University, she was instrumental in reviving the television station, KOLL-TV, where she served as anchor and reporter. During college, she interned at KSAT-12, an ABC affiliate and the Guadalupe Radio Network, a non-profit organization.

"My goal with The HealthyPlace TV Show is to bring mental health and its related issues to the forefront of peoples' minds. In addition to educating viewers about the different facets of living with a mental illness, I want to let them know they are not alone with their feelings and experiences. And in some small way, if the show helps reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, I think that would be a great thing."

During her spare time, Christina enjoys spending time with her husband and their two children who are very active in sports. She also enjoys reading, exercising (when she has the time) and online shopping.
