After growing up in Laredo, Katy travelled to Lubbock to attend Texas Tech University. At TTU, she spent four years competing on the cross country and track and field teams while earning her Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science. She then attended Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy.

A majority of Katy's clinical experience comes in orthopedic and manual therapy settings. She is also certified in astym therapy, an instrument assisted treatment technique that facilitates soft tissue healing. While her involvement in sports is what initially attracted her to pursue physical therapy, she realizes the importance of restoring health, function, and quality of life to all patients regardless of their age, activity level, or athletic ability.

Katy enjoys running, riding her bike, hiking, eating ice cream, watching sports, and spending quality time with family and friends. She loves cheering for any Texas Tech sports team, the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, and San Antonio Spurs.
