In her free time, Katelyn likes to train for half and full marathons or play sand volleyball, and her time spent indoors typically involves embroidery and crafting. Along with DIY renovations in her new Colorado home, learning to ski is first on her “to-do” list this winter. Katelyn is excited to begin her new career and would love the opportunity to meet and serve you and your dental health.
