  • About me
    brooklyn, New York, United States
    Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY Christina has always had dreams of being a "star". Since she was eleven years old her goal in life was to become an aspiring actress. Christina has a passion for entertaining people through performance whether it's on film or on a stage she's known since then that it was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
    Christina attended The Clinton Hill School for her primary school then went off to Ronald Edmonds Learning Center for her middle school. In middle school she began her journey of performing arts where she joined Academy of Performing Arts (one of the sub schools at Ronald Edmonds Learning Center) as a vocal music major. Here she was involved with the school's choir, which had performances twice a year along with performances outside the school. Christina had her first solo in 7th grade, singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Christina was involved in two independent films while in middle school Half Nelson and Skittles. She was so grateful to be given the opportunity to work with Ryan Gosling in such a great film. She was an extra in the film, playing a student. Her second film was an independent film in her neighborhood where she played a character named Robin. Christina then went off to Edward R. Murrow High School where she began acting after being accepted into the screen theatre program. The theatre program offered experience in not only acting but Christina was also able to gain experience in directing, play writing, and critiquing. Christina joined a few productions in high school such as Les Misrebales and Crazy for You as Patsy. She also participated in student ran productions such as SING (student organized musical, written, produced and directed by students) as the chorus choreographer, and Director's Workshop (student organized series of plays, written and directed by students) as a member of one of the casts. The school also offered dance classes to students where Christina was also able to grow as a dancer through learning styles such as ballet, jazz, and modern. She also performed in the school's dance show, Syncopation, her freshman, junior, and senior year, and choreographed dances her junior and senior year. Christina then went off to Penn State University, where she is now, majoring in Film. Here she joined the Penn State Thespians and No Refund Theatre two theatre clubs that have helped her in growing as a performer. In just one a year and a half Christina has performed in 7 shows through these clubs.
    Christina has a great personality and is very affable. She has so much passion for what she does and is determined to reach her goal of becoming a famous actress/singer. She won't stop working till she makes it! :)
