Kat Henry Doran, AKA Kathy Cottrell, is a registered nurse with 30+ years of experience in the operating room, OR, labor and delivery, clinical instructor, ICU, long term care, and nursing administration. Currently she travels the length of Upstate New York, investigating allegations of medical malpractice.
For twelve years she was associated with the Regional Rape Crisis Service of Rochester, NY, first as a volunteer advocate, then worked her way up the ladder to staff coordinator, assistant director, then director of the four county crisis intervention program which served an average of 1,000 victims and significant others each year. Her most recent role with RCS was as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, or SANE.
Kat uses all that experience, not only in her writing but in the professional workshops which help authors incorporate accuracy into their writing. Particularly, Kat speaks about the impact of sexual violence on victims, the community and advocates.
