Katie is originally from Wallingford, CT and lived there until attending PA school at Springfield College in MA. She finished school with a Master of Science in Physician Assistant studies as well as a minor in Nutrition. Katie was a varsity soccer player for 4 years and lucky enough to make it to the NCAA tournament 3 of those years!
After graduation, she moved to Charlotte, NC where she started working in the ER. After 10 years in Charlotte, she relocated with her husband and 2 sons (age 3.5 and 1) to Mount Pleasant in June 2023 to be closer to family. Katie still works in the ER and loves that she gets a lot of hands-on experience every day at work. Katie loves having a career where she feel like she gets to help people on a daily basis, whether it is treating an acute problem in the ER or helping a patient achieve weight loss goals in the clinic. She enjoys being able to get to know patients who come into the clinic and being able to personalize the care that they receive.
In her free time, she loves spending time with her husband, Joe, and sons, Owen and Callum. They enjoy taking their dogs Tinsley and Porter for walks, riding bikes, being outside, the beach, and a good restaurant patio. You can find them watching football or golf most weekends and rooting for the Bengals and Gamecocks (her husband’s Alma mater)! Katie also enjoys doing CrossFit and playing soccer in her free time.
