My name is Katelyn Richardson.  I was born in Norfolk Virginia and grew up there until I moved to Chesapeake in my seventh year of school.  I decided to go to ODU for many reasons, including the fact that many of my family members have graduated from here and I heard there is a great physical therapy program offered here.  Some of my hobbies include horseback riding and softball.  I have played softball for around nine years and I began horseback riding about five years ago.  A fun fact about me is that the beach is my happy place and has always been my safe haven since I was a child.
