Early life and education
[edit]Christiane was born in 1994 in Wellington, New Zealand.[1][2][3] Raised in New Plymouth, Taranaki, she spent her early years along the region's distinctive black sand beaches and worked in retail in Wellington.[1][4] During her high school years, she aspired to pursue a career in acting or modeling in the United States.[1][2]
Career
[edit]Christiane's physical appearance and height of 5'11" led to frequent suggestions that she consider modeling.[1] She began her career at the age of 16 and was discovered by a scout from Red 11 Model Management and signed contracts that provided consistent modeling work throughout Asia.[1][4] At the age of 19, Christiane began her international modeling career.[1]
In 2015, Christiane was crowned as Miss Earth New Zealand.[5][6] In the same year, she became a face of the Be Cruelty Free campaign with animal rights activists and presented over 90,000 signatures to the Parliament of New Zealand, advocating for a ban on animal testing for cosmetics.[7][8]
By the age of 21, Christiane moved to the United States for modeling.[1] She initially lived in Los Angeles, before relocating to New York to become a fashion model.[1]
As she transitioned into the entertainment industry, Christiane began pursuing acting roles.[1] Despite being in the early stages of her acting career, she quickly gained traction when she landed the lead role in the 2021 film, Heroine Yehenara.[1]
