Class of 2016
Hometown: Arnold, MD

Christina Koehler, of Arnold, MD, graduated in May 2016 with a degree in Nursing. Upon graduation, Christie began working at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore as a resident in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. She plans to eventually become a family nurse practitioner. As part of the Levine Scholars Program, Christie interned at Charlotte Community Health Clinic and spent a summer in an oncology unit in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and a rural hospital in Ngorongoro, Tanzania. “I draw on the experiences that I have had as a Levine Scholar every day. My international experiences taught me to be flexible, to appreciate the present and to endeavor to understand other peoples’ perspectives – all things that have made me a better nurse and a better leader.” During her time at UNC Charlotte, Christie was involved in Charlotte Dance Marathon, where she ran the Public Relations and Marketing Committee. “Being a part of the 49er Nation has been instrumental in my development – the memories made, friendships formed and achievements accomplished have made UNC Charlotte my second home.”
