My name is Katie Bradley and I am co-owner of Well Lit. I first began agricultural work when I was 10 years old working on various farms growing up in Presque Isle, Maine. My passion for learning more about the living world was further cultivated when I went to college for Biology at the University of Maine in Orono and then earned my masters as a Physician Assistant in Boston. I worked as a surgical physician assistant for 4 years in Southern Maine until I was diagnosed with a life-threatening auto-immune disease.

Justin and I volunteered at the Naine Women's Connection event Sparkle and Soul this past weekend.

In hindsight, I would also have asked them something they do to take care of their mental health, but mistakes are how we learn the best lessons.
