She received her undergraduate degree in neuroscience at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, Georgia) and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Creighton University (Omaha, Nebraska). During her PT education, Christina was deeply struck by the unique experiences of the patients she learned from and by how physical therapists could impact their patients far beyond the physical aspects of rehabilitation. She sees ongoing reflection as an essential component of her development as a clinician and is dedicated to being a neurorehabilitation professional that consistently integrates clinical research findings with the humanities for the good of her patients.
