Medical Assistant & Thermography Technician

Education & Training: Colebrook Academy (New Hampshire), Veterinary Technology & Science Studies

Kat’s passion for health and wellness began long before joining MyHealth1st. After graduating from Colebrook Academy in northern New Hampshire, she pursued studies in Veterinary Technology and Science, attending three different colleges and gaining experience working with a wide variety of animals, including domestic pets, large animals, exotic animals, and wildlife. Throughout her career, her greatest interests have always been nutrition, behavior, and understanding how to support health from the inside out.

At MyHealth1st, Kat serves as Lead Medical Assistant and wears many hats. Depending on the day, you may find her assisting with procedures, performing thermography, reviewing patient communications, or helping patients navigate their wellness plans. One of her favorite aspects of her role is serving as a patient liaison—helping people understand their health journey and feel supported every step of the way. Her goal is for every patient to leave feeling heard, cared for, and like part of the MyHealth1st family.

Kat’s passion for integrative medicine is deeply personal. Having overcome breast cancer, a rare oral cancer, and multiple major surgeries, she understands firsthand the challenges patients face and the importance of looking beyond symptom management. Those experiences strengthened her belief that there had to be a better way to approach health and ultimately led her to MyHealth1st—a place she describes as having found her “tribe” and her second family. She is passionate about helping others feel empowered and hopeful throughout their own healing journeys.

Outside of the clinic, Kat enjoys spending time with family and traveling, especially to the beach. Any place with warm sand and salt water is her happy place. She also shares life with her Cane Corso, Freya, and enjoys getting lost in supernatural books and stories. Quiet time with a good book helps her relax, unwind, and recharge.
