Katie is a proud Canadian American who was born in England and spent most of her childhood in Columbus, Ohio. She moved south to Nashville for undergrad where she majored in Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University (Go ‘Dores!). She returned home to attend medical school at Ohio State, where she confirmed her passion for pediatrics and cheered on the Buckeyes every Saturday in the fall.

In her free time, Katie can be found at one of Nashville’s many dessert spots (especially Jeni’s or Five Daughters), hiking or running outside, and enjoying Nashville’s country music scene. After a long day, she loves nothing more than sharing a home-cooked meal with friends and curling up on the couch with her cat, Pippa, and a good book. Katie is thrilled to be returning to Nashville to continue her training at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital, where she first fell in love with pediatrics as an undergraduate child life volunteer.
