Assisting on unusual, hardcore surgeries.

Cristina has a love/hate relationship with her mother who, in Cristina's eyes, is caring but annoying. Her father has passed away.

NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
Cristina is the first to admit she doesn't really 'do' relationships - never mind do them well! She has trouble sharing and letting anyone get close, but nonetheless, she started a relationship with Dr. Burke. Soon after, Burke proposed to Cristina, who rather reluctantly accepted. Ultimately, Burke realized Cristina wasn't ready for marriage and left her at the altar.

OTHER:
Cristina thrives in the competitive environment of being a surgeon. Despite her incredible medical skills, Cristina is not much of a people person.
