Idea of Care

One of my favorite parts of my job is how patient-centered it is. As an occupational therapist, my goal is to help my patients regain independence and comfort with their daily activities. These activities can include returning to work, getting dressed or opening jars. I often tell my patients that there’s no right way to put on their pants, meaning there are several ways to tackle a task. I work with my patients to find ways for them to live as safely and independently as possible. 

Personal Interests

Katlin has fun keeping up with her husband and two kids. She enjoys hot coffee, chocolate and spending time outside.
