Since her early childhood she was always passionately involved in many kinds of arts and sports. Her extensive background in classical ballet, contemporary and tap dancing enabled her to build a strong character as a young athlete. She then excelled in soccer; played throughout high school and into college to reach varsity-level competition for 3 straight years. In 2014 Kristina discovered the art of MMA fighting and developed a love for boxing.

Just recently, she and her significant other joined the Newport Beach Tennis Club where she has been improving her tennis game significantly since.
