Her Story
About Catherine
I started my career dreaming of working in a bank with economics and management degree from Germany. When my father became ill and I saw nurses and doctors save his life in the ICU, I changed careers. I went back to school, completed my nursing degrees despite challenges with my daughter, and now own Laurel Family Health and Wellness Center. I am passionate about hormone replacement therapy especially for women and see patients daily including veterans.
