Beyond patient care, Kristen has contributed to evidence-based practice by completing BCH's Evidence-Based Mentorship Program (EBMP), focusing on aromatherapy for immunocompromised patients. She is actively involved in hospital-wide workforce well-being initiatives, including policy development and the creation of employee-led special interest groups.
Kristen recently earned her Master of Science in Nurse Administration and Leadership from Simmons University. She remains deeply committed to fostering holistic, integrative care for patients while promoting a supportive and resilient work environment for healthcare staff.
