Support Team

Originally from Duluth, Minnesota, Krista came to Nashville after calling Texas home for many years. She describes herself as an empty nester and proud mom to a cardiac RN daughter and a musician son. She's now kept busy at home with her Morkie, Max, who "thinks he runs the show, but is afraid to walk on the hardwood floors." At UA, Krista is the front office supervisor for and keeps everything running smoothly at our Urology Surgery Center. Krista has always had a passion for serving in the medical field. Starting out as a surgical tech, she held several different roles with various medical companies throughout the years. When asked what drives her here at UA, she points to our exceptional commitment to patient care and the ability to deliver that despite being in a non-clinical role. "No detail is too small," she says, "and I truly believe keeping the patient’s well-being at the forefront of every decision I make is evidenced by that."

Originally from the Phillipines, BJ calls White Bluff home these days. BJ joined Urology Associates in 2018 as a scrub tech in our Urology Surgery Center. As purchasing coordinator, BJ ensures our offices have all the necessary supplies on hand when needed. When he's not keeping things running smoothly here at UA, chances are this angler is on one of Tennessee's numerous waterways, rod and reel in hand, trying to hit the bag limit.
