Christine's first stage performance was a talent show at the age of seven with Freddy, her big red furry monster puppet. She continued to perform on stage throughout her childhood. As a teen she not only acted in plays and musicals, but she began performing ventriloquism professionally. Christine wrote her own scripts, did her own promotional and booking working, and performed her shows at events throughout the Midwest. In 1997, Christine and Suzy-Q (puppet) won the International Junior Ventriloquist Title. Christine chose to double major in theatre design and technology and acting at Ball State University. She studied theatre in London and Los Angeles through exchange programs before graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Theatre. She moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Within weeks of being a Los Angeles resident she was on set of Along Came Polly as Mary in the JCS cast of the play within the movie.
