She received her degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Michigan-Flint in 2019 but felt led to stay in the ER for a while afterward when the COVID pandemic struck. Originally from Twin Falls, Katelin returned to Idaho she missed the people and the mountains. She is very excited to be at Panhandle Health!
