Born and raised near Phoenix, Arizona, Kristiana discovered her passion for theater at the age of six and has been immersed in musical storytelling ever since. This early love grew into a pursuit of a career in the arts, driven by her dedication to bringing narratives to life. Outside the theater, Kristiana is an avid reader, buffalo wing connoisseur, and lover of all genres of music—especially rock, with a talent for identifying any Beatles song in seconds (you can test her!) This year, she challenged herself to spend less time on her phone, leading her to discover a new passion: crochet! Kristiana loves to challenge herself and learn new skills and looks forward to being pushed outside of her comfort zone in any way!
