Christina grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and graduated from William Jewell College in 2009 with bachelors degrees in biology, bioethics, and philosophy. She then graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014, after finishing my clinical year at Oregon State and remained in Portland. Christina moved to New Zealand in 2018 and worked in Levin until relocating to Christchurch in 2023 after finishing my masters in small animal surgery. Christina is passionate about surgery and rehabilitation and am a certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. Christina enjoys the privilege of take a limping, painful animal all the way through surgery and back to their normal routine, whether that be hunting, herding, or just hanging with their favourite humans.

In her spare time Christina enjoys training her horse, working around their lifestyle block, gardening, and exploring the South Island!
