With more than a decade of experience, she is affiliated with both the Multnomah County Health Department in Portland, Oregon, and Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, an esteemed acute care hospital located in Vancouver, Washington.

This advanced training has equipped her with the expertise and confidence necessary to thrive in her roles, providing exceptional care to her patients.
Driven by a lifelong desire to help others, Kristina attributes her success to the love and empathy she feels for her patients.

This early experience instilled in her a deep understanding of compassion and responsibility, qualities that have become the cornerstone of her nursing practice.
After moving to the United States in 2006 with aspirations of becoming an OBGYN, Kristina discovered her passion for nursing—a field that allows her to combine medical practice with meaningful patient relationships. As the first member of her family to pursue a career in medicine, she remains inspired by her journey and the impact she has on the lives of women and families.
To stay at the forefront of her field, Kristina actively engages with current literature, reading reputable sources such as the Journal of Practical and Professional Nursing and the ACOG Medical Journal.
