She received her kidney transplant in April 2007 from a deceased donor where she began to get involved in patient engagement through the local Kidney Foundation. Katina gained her passion for patient engagement when she returned to her full-time job as a social worker and began to work with peer educators in a research project at a hospital in Mississippi. In this position, she learned a lot about patients’ experiences on dialysis including her own personal experience. Katina became involved with Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency (MORA) by participating in recipient commercials. She serves as a patient representative with Network 8 for Mississippi, Alabama & Tennessee. In her role as patient representative, Katina has served on the Medical Review Board and a couple of patient committees such as PAC & LAN with Network 8. Lastly, she serves as a representative on the Kidney Patient Advisory Council (KPAC) and co-investigator on the PREPARE NOW kidney study as a patient representative funded through PCORI.
