PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
Kristina was born and raised in the area, coming to the Santa Cruz beaches with her family every summer. While she grew up playing sports, primarily baseball and basketball, her interest in strength and conditioning began during her college years at UC Santa Cruz where she earned a BA in Sociology. Her love for nature grew while hiking through the forest of upper campus.
After graduating from UC Santa Cruz, Kristina started working at a local gym in Los Gatos where she eventually became a personal trainer. She found great joy in helping her clients to be more active both in and out of the gym. While training clients, she started taking classes to apply to DPT programs and it became clear that this was the right career path for her.
Kristina obtained her DPT from Boston University in 2019 and returned to Santa Cruz to work as an inpatient Physical Therapist at a local hospital. After about 5 years of inpatient care, she decided to take a leap into the outpatient world in order to grow as a clinician and work with our active Santa Cruz population. DeWitt PT was the first clinic that came to mind because it was such a welcoming environment when she was a CrossFit Up member a couple of years prior. She is happy to be amongst such a strong and supportive group of clinicians.
Outside of the clinic, Kristina enjoys playing beach volleyball, hiking, running, lifting weights and spending time with her family who still lives nearby.
