Dr. Kristi received her Bachelor's of Science (BS) degree from St. Joseph's in Indiana (ahh, the bitter cold Midwest of the United States). She attended on a full academic scholarship and graduated with honors. 

Her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree is from the Indiana University School of Dentistry.  Dr. Kristi was lucky enough to receive many awards and scholarships during dental school, including the ADA academic scholarship and Omicron Kappa Upsilon award, given to the top 10% of dental scholars. 

These achievements allowed her to be selected by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (the nations's longtime No. 1 ranked children's hospital) and University of Pennsylvania to complete her fellowship and specialty residency in Pediatric Dentistry. She is Board certified in Pediatric Dentistry.

After practicing for some time in the Philadelphia area, Dr. Kristi and her family moved to the Great State of Texas. She has been happily raising her family here and practicing Pediatric Dentistry ever since.  

Dr. Kristi and her husband, Clay, have three daughters.  Their oldest is in her Junior year of University (Gig 'em).  Dr. Kristi and her daughters enjoy sports, reading, and art.  Her youngest two daughters have attended Spanish Immersion Schooling from a young age, permitting Dr. Kristi and her girls to speak with each other in Spanish while Dad is none the wiser to what they are planning!
