Katherine Cruze is a third-year student at The Ohio State University studying Public Health and Public Management, Leadership, and Policy. She was inspired to co-found MemorEase because of her experience serving as a secondary caregiver for her mom, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2022. She brings a passion for helping caregivers and other families like her own. Her future career plans include working in the field of public health or public policy, potentially as a state dementia services coordinator.
