Christine Ayala, MSN, RNFA, FNP-C

Nurse Practitioner

Christine was born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA. After spending several years away, she is grateful to be back home. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Concordia University. After nearly a decade providing care as a registered nurse to a diverse patient group, she decided to further her education. She then attended CSU Long Beach, where she earned a master’s in nursing and became board-certified as a family nurse practitioner. Before joining the Spine and Orthopedic clinic, Christine worked as a nurse practitioner delivering acute care to various orthopedic patients, as well as hospice and palliative care. When she's not at the Spine and Orthopedic Clinic, Christine loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling, and enjoying outdoor activities.
