There is a passion in her eyes, that all-knowing stare that exudes strength, life, and love. This Greek beauty permeates a feeling of warmth and an overwhelming addiction to living life to the fullest. For all of her young years, she has led a fascinating life.

Christina is the best friend that you know will succeed, you expect it, and cannot wait to hear all about it.

She was born and raised in Greece with French as her third language. Being a quick witted and clever child, she excelled at everything that she put her heart into. As a soccer and runner extraordinaire, she was at the top of her game bringing home trophies and colleges offers as though they were candy. This junior Olympic gymnastic hopeful turned somersaults and back handsprings with graceful ease and as a child model turned heads at the top agencies in New York and Japan at the tender age of 15. The question remained where her heart strings would pull her next.

Her vivacious personality and free spirit landed her a national tour as a freestyle and hip hop dancer in New York City where she attended Marymount Manhattan College, receiving her Bachelor's Degree in just three years. During these years, Christina’s passion for the performing arts was born.

She jump-started her career playing Tina Vitale in the high energy off-Broadway show Tony and Tina's Wedding, numerous commercials, films and television shows such as Sex and the City. After relocating to Los Angeles, she landed the leading role in the independent film A Love of Time, (starring Ed Herrmann).

Who knew that her immense gift as an actor would land her a spot in the prestigious L.A.M.D.A. - London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts where only a select few were chosen? Christina knew and everyone that ever met her knew as well.

While in London she performed in several plays including Richard III, Julius Caesar, Midsummer Nights Dream, Women Beware Women & the world premiere of Opinions of a Clown.

Whether it may be on a stage or in front of the camera, her fiery inner light effortlessly shines through. It is as though the intensity of Laura Croft combined forces with the undeniable of charisma of Mona in My Cousin Vinny.

Currently, she is in development on her one-woman show for a New York production, performing spoken word/poetry around the world, traveling to beautiful new countries smiling and loving life!

As a founder of her non-profit organization, she continues to help motivate children diagnosed with cancer. Her acting career is taking off and with only one question remaining. Who knew? Well, you know the answer to that.
