Welcome!

I'm Katie, a medical student in my final (!!!) year of school, gearing up for residency applications and the marathon of postgraduate training. I'm wife to an amazing man (K) and mother to a vivacious 18-month old girl (G). As a cradle Catholic turned agnostic/atheist turned Catholic revert, I'm passionate about my faith and trying as best I can to become a saint through this life of medicine, marriage and motherhood.

I started this blog during my two years with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, a truly (trans)formative experience that brought me face-to-face with poverty, despair, resilience and grace. Writing is cathartic for me, so I've continued to post here off and on through my years in medical school.

If nothing else, this blog is a space to record a few snapshots of a very busy season of life and to hopefully uncover the moments of grace hidden within the chaos!
