As a physician assistant, Katy works closely with the spine-trained neurosurgeons, Dr. James Lynch, Dr. Edward Perry, Dr. Shane Abdunnur, and Dr. Richard Price, and assists in clinical and surgical settings.
During her Master's Physician Assistant training at the University of St. Francis (USF), Katy completed clinical rotations in orthopedics, internal medicine, general surgery, plastic surgery, emergency medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, behavioral medicine, and obstetrics/gynecology. In addition, Katy earned her bachelor's degree in Biology and Environmental Studies at Washington & Lee University (WLU).

At the conclusion of her medical training, Katy was inducted into the Pi Alpha National Honor Society for Physician Assistants in recognition of her academic achievement, leadership, and community/professional service.
In her spare time Katy enjoys running, hiking, camping, traveling, painting, and photography. She looks forward to exploring the outdoors of Nevada and the west coast with her husband, and to making Reno her new home.
