Christina Ochoa Biography

Christina Ochoa is an actress, marine biologist, author, and producer from Spain. She is the grandniece of Nobel laureate Severo Ochoa. Ochoa grew up in a household where both her scientific acumen and artistic sensibilities received equal encouragement. After completing her education that took her from Spain to Australia and America, she became an active social media based science educator. She has hosted and served as a keynote speaker at numerous scientific conferences and web shows. However, she came to realise that while science has been one of her interests, acting is her true passion. Ochoa started performing initially as a hobby and relocated to Madrid to further her grasp on the subject and hopefully land a few roles. In 2008, she made her screen debut in the comedy series ‘La que se avecina’. Since then, she has appeared on stage as well as played lead characters in multiple television shows. As a writer, she is a regular contributor to Vogue Spain, H, and El Imparcial magazines. In 2009, she became a member of Mensa.
