Cristina Coria was born on April 18, 1971 in Santa Monica, California. Growing up in family of police officers prompted Christina to pursue a career in law enforcement. As a police officer, she has gone through a lot of life threatening experiences. But her determination and strong willed personality enables her to cope up with the challenges of her work. In fact, she was badly injured before and was told that she will never be able to use her arm again. Luckily, she beat the odds and regained the use of her arm. Presently, she resides in Los Angeles, where she enjoys swimming and playing volleyball. Recently, Cristina Coria became part of the popular television show Survivor: Cook Islands (Season 13). Though she was performing very well in the challenges, her tribe members kicked her out since she was too bossy. She was the 7th contestant eliminated. (Photo courtesy of CBS)
