As an educator, Kristen’s goal is to teach students to become compassionate, empathetic, bold nurses who can change the field of nursing for the better. She has learned from several nurse educators who left a lasting impression and molded her into the nurse that she is, and she is excited about the opportunities she has to do that for her students.
