Dr. Katherine Nelson was born in San Antonio but grew up in Albuquerque until her family moved back to Texas for her high school years. She attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI obtaining a biomedical engineering degree. She returned to Texas to complete medical school at the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center and residency training in OBGyn at Texas Tech University of the Permian Basin in Odessa, TX. She most recently moved back to Albuquerque after working in Portland, OR.
