Cristina became interested in acting several years ago when fascinated by shows such as Harry Potter and Heartland. She would routinely memorize lines and re-enact scenes. When she approached me (her mother) about how she could get involved in the industry, she took some acting courses and we found her a local agent. At ten years old we headed out to Vancouver for the Faces West Acting Convention. This inspired Cristina, and she placed very well in the Commercial/Cold Read categories (12 and under). The same year she landed a lead role in a school musical play in collaboration with an Opera company. After doing three background scenes for Hell on Wheels and several commercials, she wanted more of a challenge. With work for young people being scarce in Alberta, Cristina was thrilled to land the role of Young Wynonna on the series Wynonna Earp (2015-2016). Hide
