Christine's early foray into the world of entertainment was marked by a remarkable talent show debut at the tender age of seven, where she brought her beloved big red furry monster puppet, Freddy, to life on stage. This initial foray into the spotlight was merely the beginning of a lifelong passion for performance, as Christine continued to hone her craft throughout her childhood. As a teenager, she not only took to the stage in various plays and musicals, but also began to master the art of ventriloquism, eventually performing professionally and writing her own scripts.
Christine's entrepreneurial spirit was evident even in her teenage years, as she took on the responsibilities of promoting and booking her own shows, performing at events throughout the Midwest. Her hard work and dedication paid off in 1997, when she and her trusty puppet, Suzy-Q, took home the coveted International Junior Ventriloquist Title.
Christine's academic pursuits were just as impressive, as she decided to pursue a double major in theatre design and technology and acting at Ball State University. Her academic endeavors took her to London and Los Angeles, where she studied theatre through exchange programs. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Theatre, Christine made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
In a remarkable display of serendipity, Christine's move to Los Angeles was met with immediate success, as she landed a role on the set of Along Came Polly just weeks after arriving in the city. Her character, Mary, was a member of the JCS cast in the play within the movie, marking an auspicious beginning to her acting career in Hollywood.
