An author for weekly popular Italian comics magazines such as Lanciostory and Skorpio, she had been developing new IPs - story-lines, characters and stories - for RAI (the Italian public broadcasting company) and The Walt Disney Company Italy when her path crossed with Ubisoft.

Cristina collaborated on titles in both the Rabbids and Just Dance franchises, as well as on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.
