After 23 years of living across the country and around the world – in part as a result of her service in the United States Army – this Quincy native and West Point graduate found her way back home and is excited about it.

“I have an even greater appreciation for the people of this area and the lifestyle,” Kristen said.

A life-long love of science and serving others led Kristen to a career in medicine and to becoming a physician assistant. She is passionate about cardiology because she says all health leads back to the heart, and about teaching her patients.

“We all deserve compassion and understanding, which is why I'm passionate about patient education.  I want to empower my patients by providing knowledge and understanding about their health."

Kristen delivers her patient care with honesty, compassion and empathy, with a large dose of positivity.

When not teaching and treating her patients, Kristen keeps her heart healthy.  She is a lifelong swimmer, barre enthusiast, and walker/runner.
