She is a content creator and beauty influencer of 10+ years, recognized for her artistry, education, and passion for empowering others through beauty. Christina specializes in private makeovers, makeup lessons, weddings, events, photo-shoots, brand campaigns and fundraisers. Her journey began with a childhood love for drawing and painting, which evolved into a career focused on helping others feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.

After earning her certification from the Lia Schorr Institute in 2008, Christina’s career began in New York City, where she spent seven years at Sephora developing the foundation of her artistry and education-driven approach. During her time there, she served as a Senior Artist, Personal Beauty Advisor, and Beauty Class Facilitator, training clients and emerging artists alike.

In 2019, Christina was selected as one of the original members of Sephora Squad, Sephora’s ambassador program recognizing creators who demonstrate authenticity, expertise, and community impact in the beauty space. Chosen from more than 15,000 applicants, her selection reflects her influence and trusted voice within the evolving beauty landscape.

Through her content, she encourages individuality while helping her community build routines that honor their unique beauty and lived experiences.

Beyond artistry, Christina is a trusted content creator and social media strategist, helping local businesses grow through visual branding and storytelling. She is also deeply committed to giving back, having raised thousands of dollars for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through beauty-driven fundraisers held in honor of her mother. Whether behind the brush, in front of the camera, or leading a room, Christina brings creativity, compassion, and professionalism to every experience.
