Kaitlin is from Visalia, a small town in Central California. She grew up playing many sports, soccer being her favorite. From middle school through high school she had the opportunity to play for a club soccer team where she was able to travel and play the sport she loves!
Kaitlin always knew she wanted to do something in the healthcare field and being active led her to pursue Physical therapy as a career. She is fortunate to not have suffered from any major injuries, however her family members have all been through physical therapy. She was able to watch them work through their injuries and fully recover with the help of physical therapists. She is currently on an academic scholarship at Vanguard University where she is working towards a bachelors of science degree in Kinesiology. She is so thankful to be working at Core and gaining hands on experience from such knowledgeable physical therapists!
After graduating from Vanguard, Kaitlin hopes to attend Physical therapy school. She loves spending time with friends and family and in her free time, she enjoys working out, cooking, and doing anything outdoors!
