About Kristina

I am very outgoing and after working in the hospital fir 10+ years as a physical therapy aide, I want to have another job that works more with my school schedule. I will be attending my senior year at Cal Poly Pomona Starting Aug. 23, 2018 and my classes are all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the hospital where I work at, they only give me two days out of the whole month. I enjoy taking care of those who need help, and that's why I have been employed through Citrus Valley Health Partners for over 10 years. I started giving care to my grandmother when I was 7 years old. And so I treat every patient I see as if they were my own family.
