Katya graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2016 with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology where she discovered her interest in human movement and health.

During her time in the program at Sunnybrook hospital, Katya’s interest in the Pedorthic profession was ignited where she had the opportunity to build orthotic devices for patients in need. After completing her diploma, Katya joined Pedorthic Services Canada where she sharpened her skills as an Orthotic Technician fabricating devices and collaborating with clinicians. As her interest in the clinical aspect of the field grew, she decided to pursue her certification in Pedorthics. After spending 5 years in the industry, she is excited to be a part of the KRA team serving clients in the Waterloo Region.
