About Christina

For as long as I can remember I've loved helping other people. I have a servant's heart that is filled with compassion and a strong desire to help those around me feel loved and cared for. I find service fulfilling, and volunteer in my free time with various non profits around town. I find that the more people I grow to know and care for, the more my view of the world expands, and I'm able to find a little more room to be empathetic. In turn, that empathy feeds into compassion. I find that where there is an abundance of compassion, there is healing.

Responsible for assisting diabetes patients with infusion therapy by instructing them on proper use, documenting any complaints related to insulin pump and CGM therapy, and insuring all documentation from my team is consistent with FDA guidelines. I utilize my knowledge of each type of diabetes to ensure that patients are using their therapy to the fullest potential and ensure that patients feel comfortable and empowered using their devices. I exercise compassion and patience when working with patients across all education levels. I tailor fit my approach to each patient based on their individual need (ex. those with speech impairments, cognitive deficiencies, and mental health issues) in an effort to ensure they feel confident and comfortable with the care I provide them.
