🌟 DNAP Faculty Friday Feature: Rachel Krier, DNAP, CRNA 🌟

💉 CRNA at Sanford Health in Sioux Falls for the past 3 years
Adjunct Professor Krier teaches Role Development I & II, Cognizance in Anesthesia Practice, and Seminar (Business Models) online — helping students navigate the profession’s evolving roles, policies, and expectations. She was recently invited to serve on this year’s Clinical Simulation Evaluation Panel, supporting student readiness for advanced clinical practice.
Clinically, she brings strong experience from her work at Sanford Health, providing high-quality anesthesia care across diverse surgical settings.
Service is important to her — she regularly volunteers at local shelters, giving back to the community she loves.
“In my element, I’m adventuring outdoors with my husband and two sons — hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and exploring whenever we can.”
📖 Favorite Bible Verse:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13
We’re so grateful for the expertise, heart, and dedication Professor Krier brings to the Mount Marty Anesthesia team! 💙
