Born in Timișoara, Cristina Varga studied acting at Ion Vidu Art High School and at the Faculty of Music and Theatre at West University. She was part of the independent theatre Auăleu from 2016 to 2019, and at the end of 2019, she moved to England to pursue a master's degree in Performing Arts at the University of Plymouth. During her master's studies, she collaborated with Eden's Cave Theatre Company, participating in the production of their debut film Forests as an Emerging Associate Artist.
