==Early years==
Cintrón was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the capital city of the island. As a child, she traveled throughout Europe because her father was a member of the U.S. Army. When her father retired from the armed forces, they returned to Puerto Rico and settled down in Santurce, a section of San Juan. There she attended elementary and high school, where she excelled in science and mathematics. She dedicated many hours to reading and studying about biology, chemistry, astronomy and space.〔(Latina Women in NASA )〕
Cintrón enrolled at the University of Puerto Rico where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology. In 1972 she was accepted into the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology training program offered by The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and in 1978 she earned a Ph.D. degree there. In 1978, Cintrón read a recruitment announcement for the first Mission Specialist positions in the Astronaut Corps while still completing her PhD research work at Johns Hopkins University. She answered the advertisement and passed to the finals. However, she was not selected because of her poor eyesight. However, her academic credentials impressed the management at NASA and she was offered a position at NASA as a scientist.
