A second-year medical student at UT Medical Branch in Galveston, Christina realized she wanted to pursue a career in medicine after witnessing the chronic lack of healthcare available to many of the communities that helped raise her. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Christina obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin before working in specialty veterinary medicine as both a patient care coordinator and a scrub nurse. At UTMB, she serves on her class’s student council as Vice President and enjoys partaking in intramural sports, taking long walks with her dogs, and creating social media posts during her downtime to educate viewers on the reasoning behind healthcare practices and procedures while simultaneously giving viewers a glimpse into the day-to-day life of a medical student. Looking to the future, one of Christina’s greatest hopes and goals is to establish mobile clinics throughout Latin America to improve rural and border communities’ access to basic health care.
