Spring of her high school senior year, Christie was accepted as an undecided major into her father's beloved alma mater, NYU.

Showing interest in the fields of animation, drama, and music, she began her academic career with an open mind and was placed into NYU's School of Liberal Studies.

From the age of twelve, Christie was classically trained as a soprano. Ever the lover of theater, she yearned to tell stories on stage. She fell in love with acting after being cast in her first play during her first month of college.

Following the passing of her grandmother from cancer, Christie was cast as an old woman in hospice for her first play titled The Shadow Box. The at-first cruel irony quickly melted into healing catharsis for the budding actor, as well as her grieving family watching from the audience. Wheels spinning, this sparked Christie to secretly hunger for acting as a career. Rational thinking would suggest that since she had only been in one play, it would seem necessary to table this seemingly outlandish performance pipe dream until post-grad, or at the very most, stuff her heart's desires deep into the closet.

As it so happens, the universe works in mysterious ways. Only a few weeks after her last performance of The Shadow Box, Christie's mother invited her to a one-man off-Broadway show titled Every Brilliant Thing. A handful of audience members, Christie included, were hand-picked out of the crowd to be part of the play. Spectators were given slips of paper to read out loud, intertwining the experiences, emotions, and individual identities with the performer and the story itself. It was the first time she truly witnessed and understood the limitless, raw power of acting.

This was the performance that started it all, the play that changed Christie's outlook on life and performance as a whole. She realized that great actors must perform for the audience, not for themselves. Christie's fiery determination to perform was awoken once again.

As an Undecided major who recently finished her first play, the deadline was quickly approaching for Christie to choose a major - a path for her future.

Since NYU only allows for one transfer application per semester, Christie knew that Clive Davis School of Music would perhaps be a shoe-in based on her training.

Internally transferring within NYU, especially to a highly competitive school such as NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, is no easy feat. Rumor had it that the internal transfer acceptance rate was only 7%.

Christie was going head-to-head against life-long child actors for a spot in Tisch. Despite the incredibly slim odds, she had a powerful gut feeling that this was her path. Mustering up the courage to audition for one of the top acting schools in the world, she had no way of knowing what would happen next.

One sunny New York winter morning, Christie received the life-changing email that she was accepted into NYU Tisch School of the Arts!

The University quickly sorted her into a studio based off of her acting style. Out of the eight schools, Stella Adler Studio of Acting was the panel's determination of the perfect fit.

Christie was meticulously trained in the power of imagination, as Adler's classes include Classical, Shakespeare, scene study, voice and speech, improv, character study, and movement training.

In her final year of undergraduate studies, Christie pursued diverse styles of training. Firstly she attended NYU Abu Dhabi, where she enveloped herself in costume making, set design, and writing classes. She wrote and performed her first one-person play inspired by Every Brilliant Thing. She continued to as an actor, prop master, and costume maker simultaneously for the University's modern telling of The Aeneid.

Upon returning home, Christie concluded her undergraduate studies at Stonestreet Studios of Film and Television. There, she fell in love with producing, directing, short films, and screenwriting before graduating the following May.

Fresh out of college, Christie became one of the first non-male Toy Soldiers at her favorite childhood store: FAO Schwarz located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Costumed and ready to play, she practiced her skillset as a puppeteer, a voice actor, and a dancer (for the latter, mostly on the giant piano). Christie met thousands of families, took countless photos, and even got her Toy Soldier shoe lightly stepped on by one of her favorite celebrities while he visited the retail store (and rumor has it that after he apologized for the mishap, Christie was so over the moon that she vowed never to wash that shoe again). After almost a year of living in New York City post-grad, it was time for Christie to continue further down the path of the arts.

Upon visiting Las Vegas for a modeling job (see portfolio) Christie was thrilled to land multiple horror and dramatic short film roles. She was collecting vouchers to become a SAG-AFTRA actor when the entire industry came to a halt during the pandemic.

In 2022, Christie was finally able to join SAG after traveling to Los Angeles to work for almost a whole week on Babylon. After meeting the love of her life, Christie finally moved to Los Angeles in 2023. She and her partner live in a tiny house together in Reseda, California.

Continuing to work on her craft, Christie has an updated reel and is thrilled to be newly represented by SAG-AFTRA franchised Kia Todd Agency! Christie is eager to continue branching out in various parts of the industry, from directing to producing to writing.
