Christina has always had a love for learning and received her Masters of Science in Nursing as Pediatric Nurse Practitioner from Duke University in May 2018. She chose to specialize in primary care pediatrics because much of what she saw while working in the Intensive Care was preventable. This gave her a passion for wanting to work in an outpatient setting to educate and support families on ways to help keep their children be safe, and to recognize potentially serious issues early before they become a big problem. Christina also has a love for working with babies and helping new moms adjust to life with an infant.
Outside of work, Christina enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and face-timing all of her nieces who live too far away. She loves to travel and enjoys getting away to explore new places. Christina, and her husband Ryan, reside in Mesa. They are hoping to expand their family soon!
