Cristiana Alexis

Acting / Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)

School of Acting

Belonging to a large family of ten, my head was always in the clouds. “You are always going against the grain!” my father would constantly remind me. So, to my siblings, it was no surprise that I was to be the first to leave home at 18, saying farewell to my home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to go into the Marine Corps. Still, the conformity and structure could not rid my soul of the arts, so I left the Marine Corps after 4.5 years to pursue my passions. After making the move to California with no friends and family in the state, my love for life and dreaming brought on the passion of striking a fierce pose and bringing stories to life on the big screen. From the glitz and glamour of the runway to the magical realms of film, television, and commercials, I can say that I have been blessed to dance through life with grace and
embrace every role with the fierceness of the Marine, the passion of an artist, and curiosity of the younger Cristiana. My indulgences are painting, anime, meditating, learning languages, reading the works of philosophers, learning new skills, and running. And of course, practicing martial arts.
