Kate is originally from Pennsylvania, where she always has had a passion for fitness and wellness -especially when it comes to how the human body moves during exercise. These interests led her to earning her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Kate enjoys working in the outpatient orthopedic setting and helping patients achieve their functional goals following injury or surgery. Her love for movement science led her to earning a personal training certification so that she could better understand various stages of movement for her patients. Most recently, she had the unique opportunity to work in a progressive fitness center dedicated to creating bridge programs for physical therapy clients interested in returning to a fitness program. Through this work experience, she has gained a greater appreciation of the importance of optimal physical therapy care throughout the healing process so that patients can return to high levels of function and achieve their fullest potential. She is excited to join the Denver community and continue to grow her physical therapy passion at Blue Sky Physical Therapy. In her free time, Kate enjoys swimming, hiking, and spending time with her family and friends. She is especially looking forward to exploring Colorado!
