Kate Townley

Kate Townley (lover of parenthetical afterthoughts) is a medical student at UA COM-P, class of 2018. She hails from the great, cold state of Montana but has come to truly love the diversity and proximity of adventure in Phoenix/Arizona. She tries to leave the country at least once/year (i.e., has a penchant for backpacking and sleeping on airport floors) and spends free minutes reading (fiction), hiking, backpacking and enjoying life with her husband, Chris, and two great mutts, Kula and Maia. Art and creativity have, and will continue to be, an important element of her being, as well is a strong commitment to serve the underserved (likely in family medicine, eventually).
