Education: Crystal started out studying anthropology and gender studies at Bard College. She left college to work at a domestic violence shelter in Portland, Oregon and after a year moved to working as a community health worker for the Latino community in Portland. While working I finished up my degree at Portland State and eventually made my way to med school at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Philosophy of Care: She believes an individual’s health comprises the health of their spirit, family, and community and chose family medicine to learn that holistic approach and provide continuity over the lifespan. Crystal also believe health care is a basic human right and chose Cherry Hill because of the diverse passions that faculty and residents bring to the program.

Medical interests: Women’s health: integrating abortion care into primary care, underserved medicine.
