A graduate of Rutgers University, NJ, Christina has a solid command of many piano playing styles and interpretations, from Chopin to Brubeck.

At Rutgers’ Mason Gross School, Christina studied under renowned jazz pianist Kenny Barron. The Kenny Barron Trio selected some of her compositions, released them on CD, and performed them live in NYC and around the world.
Christina is both a solo performer and the pianist of the newly-formed Straight Ahead Jazz Quartet. She performs around the NJ/NYC club and restaurant circuits.
