Katie served as the Vice President of the KRHA Student Chapter for two consecutive years and held numerous other leadership roles on Morehead State University’s campus.

Katie was raised in Knott County. She grew up loving the mountains of Appalachia and knew she wanted to be here for the rest of her life. From a young age, Katie knew she wanted to be a doctor.
