Our Clinical Team

I am a Nurse Practitioner, with experience in cardiology and dermatology. I joined Carda because it tied in with my cardiology experience as an RN. I have 2 girls, and 1 boy and I LOVE to read and play with them and my husband and I love to swing dance!

I am a board certified cardiologist. I joined Carda to help prevent cardiovascular disease.

After spending 20 years providing acute care in the Emergency Department, I wanted to help patients on a more personal level and focus on health improvement and prevention. Carda Health allows me to follow patients as they progress and see the improvement in their day to day activities that cardiopulmonary rehab can provide. My favorite activity outside of medicine is Irish stepdancing, which I started as a middle aged adult!

I advocate for preventative care, self-efficacy and to help others achieve the best versions of themselves. Fun fact about me, I am an Identical twin.

Hi! I was born and raised in North Carolina. I joined Carda because I loved their innovation and drive. My hobbies are tennis, pickleball, and travel! I also love all things fall and Halloween!

I graduated from from Virginia Tech in 2014 with my BS in HNFE with a focus on Exercise and Health Promotion. I have worked in Cardiac and Pulmonary rehab for the past 7+ years. I joined Carda because I wanted a chance to work with other CEPs and I thought it may be a way to reach more people that are in need of rehab that do not live close to a facility. My family and I are "new" runners and completed our first half marathon last October.

I am a mother of 3 kids under the age of 3, so my hobbies include keeping up with them or anything active/adventurous with my husband! A fun fact is that I have fraternal twin boys! I joined Carda health looking to get back to working in the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation field after taking time off to stay at home with my babies!

I'm a Clinical Exercise Physiologist with a 7+ year background in cardiopulmonary rehab at an academic medical center. I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of patients, high acuity cardiac conditions, and educating others on a shared pathway to health. I joined Carda for the opportunity to continue online while also funding my miniature schnauzer's expensive taste in meal prep and fashion!

I joined Carda health to share my knowledge and help make a difference in people's lives. In my free time I like to go to concerts, play disc golf or some type of activity outside, and watching sports.

I am an Exercise Physiologist with 3+ years experience, with 2.5 years in Cardiac Rehab and 1 year in Cardiology Lab. I joined Carda health to continue helping others live their best lives doing what they love. I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska where I grew up dancing for 22 years and study Karate for 16 year, earning my second degree black belt!

I am a clinical exercise physiologist with a passion for cardiopulmonary rehab. I love connecting with patients and hearing their stories while navigating through their journey to better health. I joined Carda because of the passion each employee has for making a difference in someone's life and because of the opportunity to use my degrees/certifications to serve the community. A few hobbies I have are coaching soccer in my free time as well as taking my dog to the park!

I am an enthusiast for learning new things and trying new experiences. I joined Carda to help get people back on their feet and live happy lives. I chose this career after having heart failure at the age of 21.

Nicole obtained her Masters in Kinesiology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte after falling in love with the field of exercise science during her undergraduate studies. Recently married to her "partner-in-adventure", Nicole spent a month roadtripping with her husband, visiting the "Mighty 5" national parks in Utah. On the weekends, you can find her snuggling her dogs, Daffodil and Dexter, indoor rock-climbing, or cooking up a new recipe.

I am a certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist with combined experience in the areas of clinical and corporate wellness. I joined Carda because I am passionate about promoting healthy lifestyle behavior change and supporting patients in reversing and managing chronic conditions. In my free time, I enjoy camping, hiking, and being in nature with my husband and two young children.

My name is Kristin Leinfelder and I joined Carda Health to offer cardiopulmonary support to patients across the United States and help them manage and control their risk factors to live fulfilling lives. I enjoy hiking, working out, cooking (hoping one day to open a small cafe), gardening, and teaching anatomy & physiology classes as well as wellness classes at a local college.

My name is Emily and I have always had a love for health and fitness. Years of gymnastics, cheerleading and learning how to take care of your body lead me to begin my career in health care. I have a passion for helping others and when I'm not working, you will find me making new recipes in the kitchen, at the beach or spoiling my dog!
