About Christina

After many years in the medical field, I realized that my absolute favorite part of medicine was building one on one relationships with patients; and being involved in the process of improving their overall well being. I started in medicine at the age of 18 as a single mother, and have worked side by side with doctors for the last 20 years , gaining increasing great knowledge of safety, basic nursing skills, specialized nursing, evaluating patient needs, and helping to organize and assess patients' care and routine for a healthy life. I am excited to be able to work with patients on a case by case basic now that my children are older and my schedule is more flexible.
