Christine was born in Brooklyn, New York, mainly raised in northeast Ohio, but spent many a holiday and summer back on the east coast where she fondly remembers entertaining neighbors on the stoop in Brooklyn, singing and dancing for an audience of women who leaned out of windows. In 2017, she discovered, unbeknownst to her, but suspected by many, her lower east side Italian heritage and the requisite loads of relatives that come with such a discovery. In 2021, she finally and happily landed back in NYC after two fruitful decades of theatre making and teaching and raising her son in Cleveland. The third time has been the charm.
While in NYC as a younger woman, she studied comparative literature and writing at Columbia University's School of General Studies while working at ABC Radio Network News.
