Bio
Katherine grew up on the southern Oregon coast in Gold Beach. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 17 years old, which sparked an interest in medicine and endocrinology. She attended Oregon State University and graduated with a degree in General Science. Prior to attending PA school, she worked at Salem Hospital in the medical and surgical oncology department as a CNA and unit clerk. After receiving her Masters of Physician Assistant Studies at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT, she decided to move back to her home state to practice. Her favorite part of being a PA is encouraging patients to take an active role in managing their chronic diseases. Her hobbies include reading, hiking, playing with her dog, Citra, and spending quality time with her friends and family.
