Christina is a constant advocate for clients and, as a former geriatric nurse practitioner, provides clients with a unique ability to assist and understand their eldercare and healthcare needs.
Christina’s clients know she is prepared to work hand-in-hand with them, every step of the way. Christina is ready, willing and able to help, whether it is securing a guardianship for their disabled or elderly family member, end of life planning, or making sure that a loved one’s estate is handled properly. Prior to entering law school, Christina worked as a geriatric nurse practitioner for many years and co-wrote the book, Case Studies in Geriatric Medicine. Hospitals, agencies and individuals serving the elderly and disabled know that her experience and care for the elderly and disabled are invaluable.
Prior to entering private practice, she completed clerkships with both an appellate judge and a bankruptcy judge, honing her skills and getting to experience the behind the scenes working of a courtroom. Christina's clerkships were invaluable in teaching her how to look at both sides of a matter and from a judge’s perspective. This helps her clients in determining the most effective course of action both inside and outside of courtroom.
Her of counsel status allows her to focus on the areas of law she loves, helping people both inside and outside the office. A sought-after speaker and consultant, she frequently teaches professionally and, in the community, concerning guardianship and all aspects of elder law. She is a board member of Tierra Village, an agency serving developmentally disabled adults and a member of the Advisory Council for Upper Valley Cares, that provides mental health services to those in need. Additionally, she was named Attorney of the Month by Chelan Douglas Counties Volunteer Services in June 2019.
In her free time, Christina walks her Siberian Husky on the Apple Capital Loop Trail in East Wenatchee and dances hula with her kumu (teacher) and hula sisters in Leavenworth.
