Katie chose employment at OSF HealthCare because she values the Mission, which has personally benefited her family over the years. She wants to contribute to OSF’s growing community and improve access to care in rural areas. Excited to care for the community she grew up in, Katie appreciates the growth and development within the local area.

During appointments, Katie engages in conversations to get to know her patients and understand their backgrounds, likes, dislikes and even their pets. She assures her patients that no question is dumb and is committed to educating them about their bodies to empower informed health decisions.

Inspired by her mother, who worked in a women’s health clinic, Katie found her passion in medicine early on. Specializing in women’s health, she enjoys building relationships with patients, supporting them through pregnancy journeys and celebrating births with families.

Katie grew up in Hollowayville, Illinois, a small town she fondly describes as "blink, and you’ll miss it." She is married to her husband, Michael, and they have a son and a lively corgi named Anakin. In her free time, Katie enjoys reading, running, spending time with family and friends, and participating in community races.
