In her free time, Christina enjoys cooking, traveling, reading, and music. She attends concerts and festivals as often as possible, and she even plays shows of her own. A guitar player, singer, and songwriter, she was a member of a six-piece folk-rock band in New York City for many years. Surprisingly, performing live isn’t even the most daring thing Christina does. She once did a front flip out of an airplane.
