Katie grew up in the Chicago suburbs and completed her undergraduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis where she earned her B.A. in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology. Before medical school, she spent two years working in Women’s Mental Health research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. She then received her MD and Master of Science in Population Medicine from Brown University, where she was selected for AOA and was the 2021 recipient of the Christopher Benedict, MD, Child Psychiatry Award. During medical school, Katie’s scholarly work focused on leveraging the pediatric primary care setting to improve access to mental health care for children and their moms, as well as community-based work focused on improving health care for women with substance use disorders in early recovery. Katie is passionate about integrated behavioral health in the primary care setting for children and adolescents, and she hopes to use her triple board training to help support primary care pediatricians in meeting the demand for child mental health services. Katie is also passionate about teaching and mentorship and looks forward to continuing to grow as a clinician-educator during residency. Outside of the hospital, Katie enjoys exploring the top-notch Providence food scene, enjoying the beaches and mountains of New England, and spending time perfecting her homemade pasta recipe.
