Professional interests:
Christina enjoys working within student health due to the diversity of students we see and hopes to positively contribute to the health and well-being of students during their time at Cornell. Her primary areas of practice include eating disorder/disordered eating and sport nutrition counseling. Christina is also interested in nutrition during various life stages including: transitioning to college, athletes transitioning away from sport, and pre/post-natal nutrition. She enjoys finding ways to help students create positive relationships with food and is continuously learning how to provide inclusive, affirming, and culturally humble care.
Personal interests:
Outside of work, Christina enjoys spending time with friends and family, resting, listening to music, exploring the food scene, dancing, and walking. She also enjoys travel and learning about new cultures, but wishes she could teleport to her destination. She generally loves being near the water and sun, drinking coffee, and baking!
