Most recently, Christianna directed her first commercial ad campaign for the popular online brand, Adore Me.
Christianna will continue to direct film projects that excite her while pursuing a career in episodic directing. She is passionate about creating socially relevant content through comedy and serving causes that champion the environment, human rights and anti-bullying. She loves serving on the Board of Alliance of Women Directors, glamping, and making people laugh.
