I’ve been together with my husband for 10 years, married for 8 years. We have two teenage boys and a German Shorthaired Pointer named Cash. Our family really enjoys the outdoors. During the summer you can find us on our boat at the Coast, mostly Beaufort, and in the Fall, you’ll find me in a deer stand, hunting.

Katie White, CNMT, RT(N)(CT): Meeting Planner

My name is Katie White. I was born and raised in Charleston, SC. I started off my college career at the University of South Carolina but transferred to Armstrong Atlantic University in Savannah, Ga to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Medicine. In Savannah I started my career at a cardiology office where I was a technologist for 4 years. When my husband received a job opportunity in Charleston, SC we were fortunate to move back. I have been at the Medical University of South Carolina for almost 4 years now and I work mostly in the PET/CT. At MUSC I enjoy working in all of our departments, I enjoy the variety of scans we get to do as well as the new therapies. Nuclear Medicine has been a great career for me and I'm excited for what is to come in our field.
