Kaitlynn graduated from Green River Community College with an Associate’s Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant in June 2017. Before beginning her career with OrthoSport, she worked as a travel PTA, which she says was very fun and challenging. She is from a small town in Eastern Washington that she returns to each year to help help her father with farm cherries. Through that experience, she learned a lot about work ethic. She is very passionate about working with patients of all types.  Athletes in particular are her favorites, as she has participated in sports since she was 8 years old. That being said, she obtained her fair share of injuries and became good friends with her physical therapist in high school. She became a PTA because she wanted to help people in the same way that her PT had helped her over the years. In her free time, Kaitlynn likes hiking, rock climbing, farming, visiting family, and exploring Seattle with her sister.
