Meet Crystal, our lead instructor and an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with over 16 years of experience across a multitude of specialties including the emergency room, intensive care unit, operating room, and much more.

Originally from Charleston, SC, Crystal pursued her nursing studies at the prestigious Medical University of South Carolina. Her passion for advanced practice nursing led her to Texas, where she completed her APRN at Texas Wesleyan University, graduating in 2015.

Crystal's commitment to life-saving education is evident in her 6+ years of service as an instructor for the American Heart Association. She prides herself on staying current with the latest practices, enabling her to help students relate CPR to everyday scenarios. Her teaching philosophy centers around creating a relaxed learning environment where every student feels confident in their life-saving knowledge of CPR.

To ensure personalized attention, we maintain small class sizes, catering to the individual needs of each student. Crystal's goal is for every student to leave her class knowing more than they ever have before, both from previous classes and their work experiences. Crystal specializes in certifications for healthcare providers, including Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

When she's not teaching, Crystal enjoys practicing yoga, traveling, and exploring the culinary delights of Austin, TX. Join one of Crystal's classes today and gain the confidence and knowledge you need to save lives.
