General Info

Katelyn chose to become a physician assistant (PA) because of an experience she had with her primary care provider, who was a PA. She was the first provider who took the time to listen to her concerns and hopes that she is able to emulate that with her patients. She loves being able to listen to patients and provide support in their healing process. For Katelyn, the biggest influence in her life has been her parents. They have taught her the meaning of hard work as well as how to build a loving relationship. While in PA school, she participated in many volunteer activities, including the student outreach clinic providing health care to the uninsured. She hopes to continue finding volunteer opportunities that will allow her to volunteer with and teach the importance of volunteering to her child. In her free time, Katelyn and her husband and love to take their dog and son for long walks. They also enjoy relaxing around the bonfire, listening to music and hanging out with friends.“My favorite part of practicing medicine is spending the time to listen to the patient. This helps us work together to figure out how to best address their concerns. It is satisfying when this process ends in a positive outcome.”
