Cristina Martindale

Christina started her CRNA career in 2018 at the University of California, San Francisco, where she has since become a Lead CRNA. She also works independently at outpatient ambulatory orthopedic centers. She developed a strong interest in regional anesthesia and ultrasound-guided procedures during her regional rotation in CRNA school, and has been seeking opportunities to continue learning and teaching these skills since. She particularly enjoys teaching the hands-on clinical skills of anesthesia and is passionate about advancing the CRNA profession. She works with SRNAs in the clinical and simulation settings and runs a program to expose interested nursing students and RNs to anesthesia practice. When not focused on anesthesia, she enjoys traveling the world or trail running in the Bay Area with her dog and husband.
