When asked why she chose to go into his particular field of medicine, Christin said, "I have always been interested in science but am terrible at math. I have also always been very creative and geared toward artistic endeavors. Occupational therapy is a melding of the two. My dad is an orthopedic RN and after observing many disciplines in the medical field, nothing seemed to suit my personality just right until I found occupational therapy. I love how it allows me to connect with my patients and be very attuned with them throughout their care. I get to learn about so many different things through their experiences that I may not have otherwise known, including but definitely not limited to travel, hobbies, and just life in general."

In her free time, Christin enjoys doing a wide variety of crafts, singing and dancing, and spending time with her two dogs.
