About Me:
Christina is a multifaceted performer who grew up surrounded by the arts. She began dancing at the age of 4 and quickly fell in love with being on stage. Growing up, she was involved in various plays and musicals and had the opportunity to grow as an actor with the guidance of many esteemed teachers.

Over the years Christina has developed a vocal instrument that can adapt to almost any style of music. She prides herself on being a malleable performer, who is always open to learning. Christina is also adept at working on camera, having trained in TV and film with Armstrong Acting Studios in Toronto.
In recent years her work has garnered positive feedback from Broadway icons including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Laura Benanti, and Sierra Boggess. Since then, she has continued to share her work online, creating a TikTok community of over 10k followers with whom she shares theatre related content.
