Clinical Partnerships

Background 💫

Hey! My name is Christina, and I grew up in Connecticut (Yankees, Rangers, any team besides the Patriots) before selling out for the weather and moving to LA. I currently live in West Hollywood with my partner, Steven, and our dog-ter Pippa, who was initially a foster fail but is now also my boss.

Despite not actually knowing their mascot (Violets? Bobcats? A random torch??), I’m a proud NYU alum and studied clinical nutrition in both undergrad and grad school before becoming an RD! I primarily specialized in pediatrics and eating disorder treatment before pivoting away from patient-facing work to help other providers optimize their care delivery strategies. I most recently was a member of the Clinical Partnerships team at Equip, and prior to that worked on the Clinical Performance team at Optum.

In my free time I typically like to run, eat, and/or sleep in the sun (groundbreaking). I can also regularly be found deep in a Wikipedia hole or woman-splaining history to a likely disengaged audience.
