| Instructor Bio: | Catie received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from UW-Madison in 2012. Since then she has worked across multiple settings, most recently in homecare. When she isn't working, Catie has been a multi-crafter longer than she can remember and currently enjoys quilting, crocheting, and knitting. Professionally she is transitioning her focus to preventative medicine and the next logical step is to merge her love of crafting with her physical therapy knowledge which she is excited to share with others. |
