Hi, my name is Katie Collins, and I am thrilled to be a part of your student's journey into the world of healthcare and biomedical science. Upon graduating from high school, I attended Auburn University and eventually transferred to Jacksonville State University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (War Eagle and Go Gamecocks). I bring over a decade of real-world healthcare experience to the classroom. My professional experience includes pediatrics, women's health, school nursing, and serving eight years with the Alabama Department of Public Health. 

Teaching runs in my blood. I come from a family of educators, so it was no surprise when I followed that calling! I am passionate about connecting my healthcare experience with education to inspire and prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. 

My family and I moved to Madison five years ago, and we have loved becoming part of this amazing community. My husband Brett and I have 3 boys: one is a student here at Bob Jones, and the other two attend Midtown Elementary. You can usually find us at a baseball field or some other sporting event. 

I am passionate about biomedical science and public health, and I am excited to help students explore careers, develop skills, and discover the many paths available in the biomedical science field!
