Crista Lenk-Stathers, MPA, NRP, CCEMTP, FP-C
Professional Flight Paramedic ME10
- When Crista is not at STAT MedEvac, she is a full time Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), Department of Emergency Health Services and is the Director of the Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) Program.
- Though Crista and her husband currently live in Maryland, their hearts remain in Southwestern PA (Crista was born and raised in Fayette County & John is from Washington County, PA.). They bleed black and gold and even named their new puppy, Hines Steele!
- If not working, Crista is either in the garden, decorating for the holidays (Halloween is her favorite!) or on the training field with her dogs. Crista is a member of a Schutzhund club and believes in building a strong bond with her dogs, focusing on their strength, agility, and obedience, and giving herself the much-needed break from the chaos of life.
- Most of Crista’s partners know the way to her heart is by showing her pics of their doggos (or cattos) – 99% of the time she is wearing a dog related shirt under her flight suit!
