Hi! My name is Krista, and I am currently a physician assistant student at the University of Saint Joseph. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of California, Irvine, with a bachelor's degree in psychology. Throughout my education, I have developed a strong foundation in several areas of science, including biology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and psychology. Being in PA school has also strengthened my ability to break down complex topics and explain them in a way that is easier to understand.
Through my clinical training, particularly in pediatrics, I have gained valuable experience working with children of different ages. I enjoy working with kids and understand how important it is to be patient, encouraging, and adaptable to each child's needs. My goal is to make learning fun and engaging, not something students feel stressed or overwhelmed by. I believe every student learns differently, so I use examples, visuals, practice questions, and interactive activities to help students better understand the material.
I am especially interested in working with elementary and middle school students, particularly in science and general academic support. I want to create a comfortable environment where students feel confident asking questions, making mistakes, and learning at their own pace. Whether a student needs help understanding a difficult topic, completing homework, or preparing for an exam, I would love to help them build confidence and succeed academically. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your child's learning needs!
