Multi-faceted. Multi-dimensional.
A United States National Champion and World Amateur Champion in boxing, Christina has achieved elite status as an athlete. Weighing in and competing at boxing's lightest weight division of 95 pounds, her 5'3" frame proved advantageous over competitors.
With a Bachelor's degree in marketing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (Class of 2002), Christina is one of its finest graduates. She excelled in academics and garnered international athletic achievements. While balancing her studies and her training, Christina placed education as her number one priority. "Knowledge will last you a lifetime," she says. "Your achievements in anything that you do, no one can ever take those feats away from you."
In the contrast of an honors graduate who also excelled in boxing, it was the mental toughness needed in both worlds that paralleled the experiences inside the ring to those outside of it. "Dedication, strength, control, ferocity, and willpower," Christina says. "That's what you need in life. I'm out there to break the molds of what anyone would expect from me."
With sights on the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the opportunity wasn't afforded to Christina when it was announced on her birthday in 2005 that women's boxing would, again, have to wait another four years before its reconsideration into the Games. It was then that she was offered to fight professionally. Intertwined with the sport's elite promoter and a casino giant, for what was to be a storybook pro debut in 2006, the occasion was clouded with hidden agendas and last minute changes where the persuasion of boxing politics played a role.
Her story encompasses the exaltation of triumph. Her story also encompasses the overcoming of adversity. The fact is, her athletic talent is undeniable, but it doesn't end there. Armed with an education and an ambition to make history through embarking on another path, Christina became an entrepreneur (Kwan International) and dove full force into the industries of media, motorsports, and gaming.
Today, her integral involvement and achievements within sports, motorsports, business and gaming provide a diverse platform for partnered companies. She sums up, "It's my diversified career that brings exposure to companies on a multitude of platforms. I do one thing and that's to create a lasting imprint of a company's brand in the minds of existing consumers and even more importantly, to get consumers in other markets to know about a company when they aren't even aware of their existence."
