About Katie Smith

I am an experienced healthcare professional with 10 years as an Orthopedic Physician Assistant at Peachtree Orthopedics, where I specialized in direct patient care, both in the operating room as well as in the clinic. With a strong clinical background, I recently transitioned into medical sales and consulting as a Sylke Sales Specialist with CrossLink, where I help providers deliver advanced wound care solutions utilizing innovative technology with Sylke. Beyond my professional role, I am deeply committed to global health initiatives. Since 2018, I have been directly involved in organizing and leading a biannual medical mission trip to Honduras, where our team performs total knee replacements in partnership with One World Surgery. I coordinate and recruit 30–40 medical personnel for each trip, ensuring sustainable impact and life-changing outcomes for patients in need. I hold a B.S. from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). My career path has been driven by a passion for improving patient outcomes and bridging the gap between clinical care and innovative medical technology.Currently based in Newport Beach, CA, I enjoy running, hiking, cooking, baking, cheering on UGA football, spending time with family, and traveling.
