Katelyn Trepanier was born and raised in the small, quaint town of Dunedin, FL. She was drawn to the medical field from an early age. She began volunteering in the hospital as soon as she was able to and loved the team-based effort that goes into providing quality patient-centered care. Her journey to becoming a Physician Assistant began at the University of Central Florida, where she excelled academically and worked as a teaching assistant for several rigorous science courses. She graduated cum laude in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences. Prior to her Physician Assistant training, she decided to gain clinical experience and began working as a patient care technician and monitor technician on a cardiac telemetry unit at the hospital, where she fell in love with the Cardiology specialty as a whole.
