For more than 20 years, Kristin has worked in the medical field, starting out as a cardiovascular technologist before becoming a registered nurse in the emergency room. Over time, she transitioned into education and then took on an administrative role. Eventually, Kristin joined a global medical company as a clinical expert, where she had the opportunity to work in hospitals across the country, helping them improve their patient outcomes and develop better workflows.
In her career, Kristin witnessed many patients slip through the cracks of the healthcare system, feeling hopeless, unheard, and lost. It became clear that the fragmented system lacked effective communication among clinicians, departments, and facilities, leaving patients grappling with the burden of their own care. This realization led her to make a profound decision; she returned to school to expand her knowledge beyond conventional medicine. Kristin studied integrative medicine, functional medicine, systems biology, epigenetics, individualized medicine, and global medicine. Equipped with this knowledge, her focus shifted to assisting patients in researching their options and connecting them with clinicians who aligned with their values and healthcare goals.
Collaboration with other health professionals is central to Kristin's approach, ensuring seamless communication and transitions, simplifying clients' lives, and significantly enhancing health outcomes. Advocating for patients' fundamental rights to healthcare, dignity, and respect is a strong conviction of hers. Beyond meeting immediate needs, she aims to anticipate requirements, empowering clients to make informed decisions that yield positive outcomes for themselves and their families.
