Christine Brito ’03 Garden Grove, CA “After working for many years in geriatric and pediatric nursing,
I returned to my artistic roots with a move to CA in 2011 to pursue music and acting. I have been cast in a variety of independent films and television shows, including appearances on Grey’s Anatomy. In February of 2013, I was discovered by DNT Entertainment, and I’m in the process of putting together my first official studio album. I recently became a SAG member and landed two song placements, with two of my tracks being played in more than 1,000 retail outlets in the U.K. A special thanks to Myron Schmidt, Jim Beauregard, Craig Handel, Daniel Kozar, Dianne Winchester, and to all of the many teachers who made my experience at Dean a truly magical one. I can be found online at www.bri-music.com.”
