She graduated with honors from Alcorn State University with an associate degree in nursing in 2007.

Nurse Farmer’s exposure to the medical profession for the past 21 years has been in the form of working in a cardiac medical intensive care unit, hospital setting, nursing home, hospices, home health, clinic, and research.
Nurse Farmer’s first inclination to become a nurse practitioner arose from her caring and compassion for others. A significant part of her character is devoted to caring for others and contributing to their well-being, especially her grandmother. Christina’s belief is when she is at work and caring for her patients, she feels that she is providing them with a holistic way of care and educating them on how to take care of themselves or their loved ones. Nurses reassure patients that they are cared for and instill trust in them that they are being treated as individuals.
Nurse Farmer enjoys spending time with her family and friends, watching crime shows, and enjoying the outdoors with her family.
