Born in Hamlet’s hometown, Elsinore, Denmark, it only made sense that the budding young actress would grow up with a zest for big drama, which she immediately took to the stage. At just seven years old, Kristina started performing in a band and putting on small theater productions with her classmates. Her passion for acting and storytelling took her to University in Copenhagen where she studied film and media. After completing her Bachelor of Arts degree, she relocated to Sweden to attend the University of Stockholm. There she completed her Masters of Arts degree in journalism under newspaper magnet and mentor, Arne Ruth.
Throughout her studies, Kristina modeled for print media, commercials and runway, a move that took her on a grand tour of Europe, Los Angeles and New York Elite Models. She was cast as a host for ZTV, Scandinavian’s off-spin of MTV, and, television career aside, continued performing with other up-and-coming actors, producers and directors from The Danish Film School. She also found time to work behind the camera as a director, writer and producer of a docu-soap broadcast on Danish national TV and she worked as assistant director on various other TV productions.
To advance her acting skills , Kristina has worked with Michael Hackett and Michael McClain in Los Angeles at UCLA. She has worked intensely with award winning actors and directors Sara Broberg, Thomas Levin, Pia Bovin and Niels Anders Thorn in Copenhagen.
Since her father lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Kristina spent much of her childhood in the United States. Her love for the country – particularly New York City – prompted her take a leap of faith and move to the Big Apple in 2004. In 2005 she she was accepted into the two-year full time acting program at the Esper Studio taught by William Esper and the rest is history
