ABOUT THE CLINIC DIRECTOR

Christina

IMG_00185_edited_edited_edited_edited.jp

Before becoming Clinic Director of The Training Station PT, Inc., Christina lived across the country and explored several careers. She graduated from Western Washington University in 1998 with a B.A. in Education (Early Childhood Education focus) and married her high school sweetheart, Ian. When Ian joined the Air Force that summer, they moved to Bethesda, Maryland, for his medical training at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. During those years, Christina earned her Maryland teaching credentials and taught elementary school for over seven years, first in Maryland and then in California, while Ian trained as a Cardiologist at David Grant Medical Center. A move to San Antonio followed, where Christina earned her Master's in Education, concentrating in Health Promotion and Kinesiology, at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

After her daughter Teagan (2007) and son Braden (2008) were born, Christina stepped back from her career for nearly 12 years and was a stay-at-home mom, volunteering and substitute teaching along the way. When Ian completed his Air Force commitment in 2015, the family settled in Bend, Oregon. In 2018, Christina returned to work as a Care Services Coordinator for ALS Northwest, supporting ALS patients across Central and Eastern Oregon for over six years.

Ready for a new challenge, Christina jumped at the chance to work as Clinic Director at The Training Station PT, Inc. Today, she enjoys keeping the clinic running smoothly so Lisa can focus on delivering top-notch rehabilitation care to patients.
