Christina Chelliah is triple-qualified attorney (New York, UK, Malaysia), law lecturer and model based in New York City.  

Originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, she obtained her law degree from the prestigious University of London. Subsequent to her admission to the Malaysian Bar, she then practiced as a Corporate Attorney with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions in a leading law firm in Kuala Lumpur. Christina was admitted to the New York Bar in 2019 and has worked as a Malaysian consultant attorney for various international law firms in New York City. She was sworn in as a Special Master of the Supreme Court of New York in March 2022 and admitted to the Law Society of England and Wales in June 2022.

Teaching the law has always been near and dear to Christina’s heart.  Throughout her years of practicing law in Malaysia, she simultaneously lectured part-time at a renowned law school in Kuala Lumpur.  In New York she taught law part-time with the International Center for Legal Studies (ICLS), a registered center of her Alma Mater, the University of London. In addition to this, Christina remains active in her role as an Ambassador to the University of London.

When not immersed in the world of law, Christina still embraces her passion for modeling and acting.  A former Miss Malaysia, she represented Malaysia in the 2014 Miss Global pageant during her first year in the U.S. where she secured the Miss Enterprise subsidiary title. Christina’s ethnically ambiguous look also makes her a sought-after international print and commercial model who has been featured in ads in NYC, London and Malaysia for brands such as Levi's Jeans, IT Cosmetics, AVON, Wella, Nokia and GNC Live Well to name a few.  She has also worked as a spokesmodel for such household names as Cadillac, Victoria Secret, Reebok, American Express, Estée Lauder, Hugo Boss, Progressive Insurance and Spalding, among others. In addition to this, Christina has been featured in television shows including “Law and Order SVU,” "Person of Interest,” and “The Following,” as well as commercials for JC Penney, Condé Nast, the New Jersey Lottery, and Hpnotiq Sparkle with Khloe Kardashian.

 Christina has been fortunate to experience many facets of the world in both corporate settings and in the entertainment industry.  She has a heart to inspire and finds joy in motivating others to heed their calling and to live a life of purpose.
