Our Group Study Exchange Team Member - Katie Deverson

Katie Deverson is our club's representative on the Group Study Exchange to South Korea.  Katie is 26 years old and for the past two years has been working as a Registered Nurse in the Pediatric Critical Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital.  She also works as a nurse for the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence team at Hamilton Health Sciences.  Katie grew up in the Hamilton area and obtained her  Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree from McMaster University.  Her personal interests include reading, watching movies, yoga, traveling and outdoor adventure sports such as hiking and white water kayaking.  Katie has three sisters, whose names all begin with the letter ‘K’, a boyfriend named Mike and three small poodles. Katie's sister was a GSE team member to Belize last year and is now a member of the Dundas Rotary Club.  Katie is looking forward to participating in the GSE trip to South Korea.  She will be exploring health on an international level so that she can grow professionally and share her experiences with colleagues back home.  She will sample the culture and food in Korea, meet new friends and, when she returns, will share her experiences with our club.

The club has provided Katie with funds for the blazer that you see in her photograph. The costs for the GSE team adventure is covered by our contributions to the Rotary International Foundation.
