Fun Facts
The best advice Christi has ever received was from her mother on the eve of Christi’s first day working at her mom’s office as a teenager. She told Christi to work hard and don’t make her look bad. Christi attributes her strong work ethic to that conversation.
The most exotic/interesting place she has visited was a trip she took to Egypt to visit her son who was living there in 2015.
As a child, she loved to play school and wanted to become a teacher. She eventually taught at the college level for two years, which she enjoyed. Ultimately, her love for patient care and performing procedures led her back into the clinic setting. She still enjoys teaching students and mentoring technologists in her current capacity.
