About Katrina

Experienced physical therapist looking to provide caregiver assistance as a meaningful secondary position. I am an active treating clinician in my primary job as an outpatient physical therapist/supervisor, with additional experience working in the inpatient setting. My background provides me with bed mobility, transfers, and gait training, in addition to proficiency in exercise programs. I've worked with a wide variety of patients, including geriatrics, post-operative and those more medically complex. Willing to assist with household tasks, errands or be there for general companionship, as well. Enjoy focusing on compassionate care with all clients, in addition to making time spent together fun (with hopefully a few laughs!).

I have the ability to notice changes In my clients. I have saved two patients for a doctor I worked for while he was having an emergency. I also saved a patient at a facility where I worked and convince the direct her to get a nurse. Because I have worked extensively with Alzheimer's I have bought many books that will help them. I am also a cosmetologist and help many of my clients when they couldn't get out. Some of my other accomplishments were transforming a students life, responsible for 32nd commercial on Fox 25, a sister young mother with her fight for addiction and became successful, volunteer reading to young children at a school library.
