Hi, my name is Krista. I am currently a child life specialist in a children's hospital where I teach children how to cope with illness and hospitalization, as well as educate patients on upcoming tests and procedures. I also provide procedural support during procedures. On the side, I teach yoga to children to promote wellness and mindfulness. I enjoy music, traveling, and great food! I am passionate about children and healthcare and look to gain a better understanding on understanding how to apply the skills sets and knowledge learned from this class into my career. I would like to have a better hold on how to evaluate risk factors and variables that cause disease and be able to apply that knowledge. I am very much looking forward to this class and my next post.
