MEET CHRISTIAN
I was born in Louisville and raised in Crestwood, where I was a Girl Scout, ran cross country at Oldham County High School (Class of 1988), and was named a Governor’s Scholar.
I loved reading, camping with my Girl Scout Troop, summers on the Ohio River, playing piano and clarinet, and running cross country. I met my husband Dean while in college and we married after I returned home for medical school at UofL, where I earned my M.D. and completed my residency and fellowship.
As a Geriatric and Palliative Care physician, I’ve cared for countless families in our community and served in leadership roles at UofL and the VA Hospital. After recently completing a yearlong Congressional Fellowship in Washington, D.C. to advise on older adult issues, I want to make difference in Frankfort.
Dean and I have raised our two children in Oldham County, where I coached at Saint John United Methodist and volunteered as Girl Scout troop leader, and now serve as as a member of the Prospect City Council.
