About Me

My Path Wasn’t Random—It Was Training

Hi, I’m Christina.

I’ve always known I was made for more.

Even as the left-handed middle child with big ambition, I could feel it.

I graduated high school early—not because I had it all figured out, but because I couldn’t sit in those four white walls any longer. I craved life, experience, and something bigger than myself.

⚾ A Softball Girl for 20 Years

For nearly two decades, the softball field was my second home. It taught me discipline, grit, teamwork, and how to keep showing up—even when it was hard. That resilience became the foundation for everything that came after.

🎭 Acting School in New York

I chased my love for storytelling to the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, where I trained in the Sanford Meisner Technique.

Meisner taught me presence, truth, and how to connect with people in the moment. I learned to listen deeply, respond authentically, and bring my full self to every interaction. What I didn’t know then was that these same tools would one day transform the way I teach sales, confidence, and communication.

🎤 Singer, Dancer & Voiceover Artist

I stepped into the world of rhythm and performance—singing, dancing, and lending my voice behind the mic. This chapter taught me expression, flow, and how to embody my message fully, not just speak it.

🍸 The Bartender, The Audition Rooms, & The Rejections

I bartended, I served, I auditioned, I got rejected—more times than I can count.

But every “no” forced me to rise again.

It taught me resilience, the art of reading people fast, and how to connect stronger and deeper. I learned to embody magnetism—not as a mask, but as an authentic way of being in service to others.

🔄 The Cycle of Tries, Fails, and Wins

My life has been a cycle of trying, losing, failing, gaining, and repeating. Over and over again. And every single loop made me stronger, wiser, more grounded, and more me.

✈️ The Freedom of Travel

And then—I found travel.

Suddenly, everything I had learned the discipline from softball, presence from Meisner, expression from performance, resilience from rejection—came together.

Travel gave me freedom. It gave me connection. And it gave me the gift of building a life and business on my own terms.

👣 Legacy & Ambition

My dad started our family travel company in 1988. Seven years ago, I joined him.

I poured everything I had learned—from the field, the stage, the bar, the classroom - into sales, leadership, and service. That’s how I became a six-figure travel advisor.

But it was never just about selling trips. It was about freedom. About connection. About building an empire that helps others rise, too.
