Christina is originally from Spokane, Washington, but after 25 years, grew tired of the snow and moved to San Diego in 2004. She obtained her Bachelors of Science in Physical Education & Health, minor Athletic Training from Eastern Oregon University. She was NATABOC certified in 2002. Following undergrad, she accepted a graduate assistantship at Washington State University, (GO COUGS!).  She graduated from WSU with her Masters in Education, Athletic Administration emphasis in 2004. 
Upon her move to San Diego, she worked at USD and SDSU in interim positions as an Assistant Athletic Trainer and adjunct faculty in SDSU's accredited Athletic Training Program/Clinical Instructor for two years. 

Christina is in her fourth year as the Torrey Pines High School Head Athletic Trainer. Overall, she feels athletic training is a profession that is always growing with continued learning through the research and advances in medicine. The bonus, you are required to watch sports as part of the job! 
When she is not at Gaspar Physical Therapy, or at the call of the high school, she enjoys sports, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and taking in all that San Diego has to offer.

Born in Thailand and raised in South Carolina. I moved out to CA in 2003 to attend SDSU. Graduated from SDSU in 2007 and accepted a GA position to be the ATC for Santa Clara's men's basketball team.  After spending a season in Santa Clara, I moved to Atlanta in 2009 to work with the Atlanta Silverbacks soccer organization which is part of the USL.  Being away from sunny San Diego for a few years made me decide I wanted to be back in California, and I eventually moved back in August 2009 to be the Head ATC for San Dieguito Academy. .
