Katie Grand, MS, LCGC

My name is Katie Grand and I am a genetic counselor in the Department of Pediatrics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles, California. I was born and raised in Harrison Township, Michigan, which is a suburb of Detroit, and did my undergraduate education at the University of Michigan (go blue!). After undergrad, I attended Arcadia University and graduated with my Masters of Science in Genetic Counseling. Prior to moving to Los Angeles, I worked at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with Matt Deardorff and Cara Skraban where I was lucky enough to start working with the SKDEAS population. It has been surreal to compare when we first started this journey to now. My favorite part of working with the SKDEAS population is by far interacting with the kids and their families. The kids are some of the most joyous, loving, and inspiring kids that I have ever met and their parents are supporting them in every way. When I am not working, I enjoy walking with my dog, Darla, traveling, and being outside.
