Kristen Marin
​2017 Rural Health Rock Star
Nurse Leader
Kristen’s interest in nursing was sparked by working as a ward clerk and with telemetry at Ukiah Valley Medical Center. Subsequently she attended CSU, Chico and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. Upon completion, she continued her journey with UVMC as a registered nurse on the medical-surgical unit and eventually, the emergency department. With the full financial support of UVMC, she obtained her Masters Degree in Nursing Administration and Education. 

​While pursuing her education, she stepped into leadership as the Director of Education at the hospital where she gained a true appreciation of life-long learning. Kristen returned to the Emergency Department as a Unit Supervisor and is most proud of her work with the trauma program. She led the development of the annual trauma expo; a community-wide effort to educate first responders and hospital staff when faced with trauma patients. She is also a sexual assault nurse examiner who works closely with local law enforcement and educating local youth about reporting sexual assault. She lives locally with her husband and two young children.
