After accumulating extensive experience in Production at Bad Robot and as the Writers Assistant on GLOW, Christene felt it was time to take the leap as a professional writer. Shaped by her upbringing in Hawaii, and as a queer Puerto Rican, she discovered she was a storyteller that aims to tell vibrant intersecting stories centering ensembles of women in many mediums of writing. Writing for TV is her bread and butter. As a writer-director, her work has screened at Cucalorus Film Festival and Beaufort International Film Festival, winning awards at Big Bear Lake International, Indie Grits, Nashville Film Festival, and Humboldt Film Festival.
