Katie has been a registered nurse for 22 years. She first received her ADN from LCCC in 2001 and then her BSN from the University of Akron in 2003. For the first 13 years of her career, she worked on a med-surg telemetry unit at University Hospital in Elyria, Ohio. During her hospital career, she worked as both a floor nurse and a charge nurse.
At the end of 2014, Katie and her family relocated to Michigan. She started working at a facility that treated residents with severe and persistent mental illness and co-morbid medical problems. This is where she developed a true passion for working in mental health. Katie worked at this facility for five years and then briefly relocated to Colorado.
Katie and her family moved to the San Diego area in May of this year. She is excited to work in addiction recovery and to help patients reach their recovery goals. Katie has also started working at an eating disorder center for adolescents.
