She began teaching on a collegiate level in nursing, medical assistant, pharmacy technician and phlebotomy courses. She created Solace Studies in 2013, in an effort to increase the number of minority nursing graduates. Her goal is to increase the number of minority nurses and improve the quality of care people of color receive in the healthcare industry.

     She developed a study module that shortens the time students spend studying but maximizes the information understood and retained. Katomi continues to learn new ways of improving nursing education by working with students at Solace Studies and mentoring other nursing professionals.
