Katie spent time in Guatemala studying with indigenous Mayan midwives and collaborating with rural health clinics regarding maternal health issues. She prefers to work with high-risk groups whose health status may be disproportionately impacted by their environment. Living in New Orleans provided ample opportunity to work with underprivileged groups lacking access to health care and imperative health information.
