Ten minutes with Katrina
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the people around me like my family who have supported me and raised me to strive for more, including my grandfather who instilled the drive to be successful and help others realize their potential. Being adopted and having remarkable individuals around me has pushed me to become the best version of myself and transform my life.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve received is to let my experiences inspire me to help others. After experiencing the loss of my mother and sister at a young age, I was inspired to pursue a career in caregiving and nursing. Their loss taught me the importance of compassion, and I strive to ensure that others feel valued, supported, and never alone.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
My goal is to establish a hospice nonprofit and caregiver initiative to support patients in their final days and provide education and employment opportunities. I am seeking a property and committed to compassionate end-of-life care so no one feels alone.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me are family, compassion, authenticity, and service. I deeply value my adoptive parents and their unwavering support, and I have a strong passion for caring for older adults and children. Professionally, I stay true to my mission of helping others and advocating for more equitable healthcare.
