Christine began performing at the age of 7 and cultivated her own unique vocal style. She continued performing and went on to Marymount College in Tarrytown, NY and earned a degree in Theater and Media Communications with a concentration in Voice. It was there that she was inspired by Broadway actor and Obie Award winner, Ronald Weyand. One concept Christine credits to Mr. Weyand: always be a student.

In 2006, after producing, directing and performing for 15 years in both theater and opera, Christine founded Loudoun County's first regional opera company, Loudoun Lyric Opera. Additionally, she has been involved in Washington Area Theater for almost 10 years, working as a director, producer, costumer and performer at The Alden Theater, Reston Players, Sterling Playmakers, as well as being nominated for a Ruby Griffith Award for costuming. Her impressive resume goes on to include working with performing professionals, directors and design artists from Yale University, The Washington Opera & New York City Opera. In July of 2008, she participated in master's classes at the Puccini Opera Festival in Verona & Lucca Italy. In July 2011 Christine is attending the professional development course of instruction with broadway stars and other broadway theater professionals in NYC & hopes to return with much inspiration to share with students that will attend theater camp this summer 2011.

For Christine, the inspiration Kidz Act came from a surprising place: career day at her childrens' elementary school. Weeks after participating, she was touched when she received an envelope full of thank you letters from the children. It also reminded her how inspired she was by her own teachers as a child. With this in mind, Christine felt her experience as a performer, but most importantly as a mother, would be best put to use as a teacher of the dramatic arts.

While she does not perform as frequently now, Christine is putting her talents to good use by directing and producing. One of her main philosophies she aims to impart? "Every job that goes into the making of a theatrical production is important. From props, lighting, technical staff to being an actor." She also is constantly learning from her own children, whom she says have heightened her creativity, while continuing to learn from the children she teaches. Christine herself puts it best: "I have had many wonderful teachers, coaches and directors in my life. Now it's time for me to return the favor, opportunity and dedication my teachers gave me by developing a business of teaching children in my own studio. The arts are an essential part of educating children and also instilling self confidence, a sense of belonging, planning, history...the list goes on!"
