Christy joins IFHS from Mobile, Alabama. In fact, coming to Unalaska is the first time she’s lived out of the state of Alabama! “I’ve always wanted to be in medicine,” Christy shared. “The first time I was able to work in an Emergency Room (ER) as a student aid, I knew that was my calling.” Christy attended a small community college then transferred to a larger university. She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2005. She graduated in May 2017 with her Master's of Science in Nursing (MSN) in Family Nurse Practice and Adult- Gerontology Acute Care Nurse practice and July 2017 with her Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP). Although most of her career has been in the ER, she is very passionate about developing continuity of care for rural Alaska, particularly Unalaska, Alaska.
