Originally from Chicago, Christina trained in acting since high school. She went on to earn a diploma degree in nursing, worked in cardiology for several years then received her Bachelor’s in Nursing. After her first son was born, she decided to audition for her favorite play “Much Ado About Nothing” for a local Northern Indiana playhouse. She was cast in two roles, Margaret and Ursula and rekindled her love for performing. Shortly after, her family relocated to Albuquerque, NM, where the television and film industry had been steadily growing. Since 2010 she’s continued to train and work in film while nurturing her two sons’ acting and modeling careers (Alex & Julian Gopal). Beyond acting, Christina has developed into an award winning writer/producer with projects such Diva’s Perfect Posse WebSeries, Blackmail, The Awakeover, and Millennium Bugs, to name a few). When not working in film she enjoys spending time with her family traveling around the world and watching ice hockey, especially when her sons are playing. She also enjoys training in Tae Kwon Do where she currently holds a 2nd degree Black Belt. She wishes to thank her loving and supportive husband of 22 years, Dr. Ramesh Gopal, her agent Tina Presley of Presley Talent Agency, and also her ongoing acting coach and colleague Stephen Burhoe (The Player’s Craft and Wire Ride Films) who himself trained with the late, great Jeff Corey.
