She was an RN in the community for several years before returning to school to pursue her masters degree, and she has brought that valuable experience with her to Ozark Orthopaedics. Chrissi joined the team at Ozark Orthopaedics in 2016. She enjoys orthopaedics because it is very “hands on”, and often yields a high degree of positive patient outcomes. Chrissi received her bachelors degree in nursing from University of Phoenix, and her masters in nursing from University of Central Arkansas in Conway. She holds national certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the Amercian Association of Nurse Practitioners. Her professional memberships include the National Association of Orthopedic Nurses, and the Arkansas Nurse Practitioner Association. Outside of work, Chrissi and her husband are often traveling to watch their 2 teenagers in their many sporting activities.
