​Between being in the military, being lesbian, wearing hearing aids, having OCD, ADHD and being a recovering addict, Christina decided it was time to try comedy because she had a lot of material to talk about.

After years of making her co-workers laugh at the lunch table, Christina decided to take the stage in 2008 and became a semi-finalist in the Catch a New Rising Star Competition at Twin River Casino.

​From there, she has performed at clubs and venues all over New England to include Comedy Connection, COMIX at Foxwoods, Twin River and Mohegan Sun. 

Christina was a semi-finalist in the 2011 Rhode Island Comic Throw down. She was also chosen by Tree House Comedy Productions to perform in the Funniest Comic in New England Contest in 2012. Out of 200 applicants, 40 made it to the stage and Christina made it to the top 15 at Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre. 

​Christina was asked to Co-Headline at Catch a Rising Star Comedy Club at Twin River Casino in May 2013, and life has been fast paced ever since. Christina has worked alongside great comics like, Poppy Champlain, Bill Simas, Mike Murray and RI Funny man, John Perrotta.

Christina has been a sober comic for over a year and was interviewed by Options Magazine to feature a story about “Comedy after Sobriety”.  The story was published in the June 2014 edition of Options RI.

​Christina is a full-time National Guard Soldier of 18 years. She uses her everyday life experiences to keep the crowd laughing and wondering what she is going to say next. Christina has high energy, unique stage presence and she uses her ability to take any situation and find humor in it which helps her to not take life too seriously. Well that, and medication.
