Biography:

Katie has dedicated decades to the nursing profession in diverse areas of patient care. This broad background has equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of patient needs across a wide spectrum of health conditions.

She finds particular joy in working with college students, a population with which she connects on a personal level. As she puts it, “taking care of college students is like finally getting paid to be a mother.” Here at the University, she embodies this sentiment in her commitment to the health, overall success, and well-being of the young adults she serves at HornetCare.
