Kristine has worked in cardiology since 2008 when she was fresh out of nursing school. Helping people understand what's going on with their heart is her passion. From rhythm issues, to open heart surgery to transplantation. Her experience started at the University of Washington Medical Center on the inpatient side, but today she spends her days in the clinic at Center for Health & Healing, where she has greater time for education. Her goal is that her patients feel listened to, and leave their visit with a better understanding of their heart.

Outside of work, she enjoys hiking and biking with her family, and eating all of the wonderful foods that Portland offers.
