From a young age Dr. Kaitlyn Skinner knew she wanted to become an eye doctor, so she followed an interesting path to an inevitable destination.
First stop was Bowling Green State University to play volleyball and earn her Bachelor's degree while winning a varsity conference championship. Next stop was a year stint of professional volleyball for Club Voleibol Emevé in Lugo, Spain.
After hanging up her volleyball shoes, Kaitlyn pursued her interest in optometry, earning her degree, back near her hometown, at the University of Waterloo. And in 2019, her last stop, landing her in Nova Scotia joining Ocean Optometry.
Kaitlyn loves everything about Primary Eye Care, Pediatrics and Dry Eye. Building relationships with patients, seeing them grow up and learning their stories, while providing the highest level of care.
Outside of the clinic, Kaitlyn loves to play volleyball, hike Nova Scotia’s coastline, find live music around the city, and travel the world
