- Born in Dover, Ohio, Christian-Rhen Stefani was raised to be an individual and a star. Ever since birth, she has displayed signs of talent. The first sign of talent was shown in dance. From the age of three, she was tip-tapping across the floor. Noticed immediately for her star quality by her great-uncle, Edward J. Gualtieri, she was quickly given an outlet for her not-yet-known venue of talent. She was urged to pursue dance classes, partake in singing, and even influenced by other classical entertainers - like Frank Sinatra or Judy Garland. Through many years, she took dance classes from Magenta Dance Studio, in her native Dover, Ohio. She even competed for the school, and went on to become a national dance champion. And that was only the beginning! She also displayed talent in acting, writing, choreography and art. By the age of ten, she had already written several short stories, hundreds of poems, and her first full-length play. While pursuing the arts, she was also an avid athlete. She was known for her prowess in boy's football, baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics; it was in gymnastics that she retired an undefeated gold medalist on floor.
By the time she was 19, Christian-Rhen was a bit bored with dance, having competed and excelled for years previous, so she turned to acting. She surprised everyone with her star-like shine and obvious range of ability. Trying to get out from under her dancer's image, she stopped dancing altogether and honed her craft of acting. At 21, she couldn't bear to see the dancer in her die without another round of competition. Christian-Rhen's last and final competition was in St. Louis, Missouri, 1995, and allowed her to retire with a solid champion career. After she hung up her dance shoes once and for all, she went back to acting, determined to make the field her career; she even moved to Long Beach, California to enter into her dreams of acting. Since, she has acted in projects in locations such as Ohio, Missouri, California, Illinois, and New Mexico.
Christian-Rhen is also an award-winning actress. She has won Best Actress for her work on: Kinetix as Syron from the D.A.G. Film Awards in 2004-2005; and, Tallon Lake as Sacha Cage from the Tallon Lake Audience Choice Awards in 2010.
Christian-Rhen Stefani is a talented young lady with experience in acting, dancing, writing, abstract art, and even directing. And it is sure that she will continue to entertain her audience no matter which vehicle she chooses to do it in.

- "Gosselaar is for the actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar, an actor that I truely respect; while Dragon is the strength, power, and personality that is behind everything in my life and craft; and the AF stands for After Fire, a pyromanic's love." (When asked what the name "GDragonAF" means and its significance.)
