She danced in Switzerland for seven years, first with Le Ballet du Grand Theatre de Geneve and then Ballet Basel. Christina is a founding member of Complexions Contemporary Ballet and has been a featured guest artist with numerous companies worldwide, including the Royal Ballet of London.

Christina held the position of Rehearsal Director for Washington Ballet, Trey McIntyre Project, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Karole Armitage and Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. She was on faculty at Marin Ballet in San Rafael, CA, and served as Adjunct Faculty at Dominican University in the LINES/Dominican BFA in Dance Program.

Christina is sought after as a teacher and coach and currently works with dance schools, universities and professional dance companies across the USA and internationally. She is also a master teacher and judge for various dance competitions.

Christina is featured in two recently published books, the first by Misty Copeland, Black Ballerinas: My Journey to Our Legacy and also in Dance Theatre of Harlem: A History, A Movement, A Celebration.
