Meanwhile, Chris also derived great joy and fulfillment as an acting teacher/coach working with several workshops including her own private classes for beginning to advanced actors. She acquired skills in talent representation and marketing when working as a talent agent's associate, while still studying with some of the most renowned acting coaches in Los Angeles.
