About

Christina grew up in a small town in Ohio and attended The Ohio State University where she graduated with a degree in Human Development and continued to complete a master’s degree in Education. As a college student, she hosted a TV show – “Around the Town”. After college, she worked for three years as a third-grade teacher in Charlotte before coming to Loyola for medical school. In Chicago, Christina has enjoyed working part-time as an actress (including an appearance as a nurse in Chicago Med and background actress in other shows such as Empire, Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, Fargo, and Batwoman).

In medical school, she has served as a peer mentor, Co-Director of the Student run Student Reviews, small group facilitator for MS2 students, VP for the Integrative Medicine Interest Group, and volunteers as a court appointed advocate for foster children. Christina will be completing the Bioethics and Professionalism Honors Program and will earn an MA in Bioethics through OSU. Her husband is from North Carolina, and they are looking forward to returning to the area.

Christina enjoys coffee (and co-founded Pilot’s Coffee) and being a Grill Master (she won the Ohio State Grill Master title for the barbecue competition judged by OSU Food Science Faculty in 2017)!
