She graduated with her FNP at the end of 2019 just before the pandemic, when her and her partner traveled to New York to serve patients at the height of the pandemic. Christina and her partner dedicated their entire year in 2020 as bedside nurses for COVID-19 patients in New York and Texas. Christina has traveled to places like Australia, China, South Korea, throughout North America, and even to the east African country of Uganda where she worked alongside midwifery students and as a nurse educator.
Through all of her experiences, both personally and professionally, she has witnessed the need for mental health care. She incorporates elements of psychotherapy into medication management visits, providing a more holistic approach exploring lifestyle, coping skills, behavioral interventions and goal setting. “I am proud to get to play a small role in my patients healing journeys.”
