Katie was born in New Jersey and moved to Vermont in 2006. She received her Bachelor of Science in Wellness and Alternative Medicine at Johnson State College in 2009; she also became a certified massage therapist. After working as a massage therapist for 14 years, getting married and having two children, she decided she wanted to deepen her knowledge of the body and help patients in a more clinical setting. She attended UVM’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program and graduated in December 2025. In her last semester as a student, she spent 3 months at Cobblestone under the guidance of seasoned therapists Crissy Sears and Laurie Austin, where she was exposed to a wide variety of orthopedic and neurological patients. She is excited to be a part of the NMC rehab team and enjoys motivating patients and helping them achieve their goals. She enjoys working with patients of all ages, while incorporating her massage skills with her newfound PT knowledge. Katie is interested in deepening her understanding and plans to explore continuing education in more manual techniques, exercise physiology, dry needling, and neurological rehab.

In her free time, Katie enjoys snowboarding at Smugglers Notch Resort, hiking, camping, swimming, exercising, yoga, reading, and taking any opportunity to be out in nature.
