A proud Chicago native, Katie decided to keep it local and attend Northwestern University. Two years in, she chose to trade in her Division I hockey scholarship for a degree in theatre and film (insert parents' cries…here)! It was the best/scariest decision she ever made, and - after graduating from Northwestern - she began her pursuit in comedy, studying at Second City, Comedysportz and Improv Olympic. She is now living in Los Angeles, studying at The Groundlings, performing sketch and stand-up comedy, and adoring life as an actor.
She recently completed a North American Screening Tour of Act Naturally, a feature film which she co-wrote, co-produced and starred in. It tells the story of two very different sisters who come together upon the death of their father...and their inheritance of a nudist resort! The flick will be released by FilmBuff and available on iTunes and VOD April 30th, 2013!
Other movie credits include: supporting roles in Go For It opposite Aimee Garcia (distributed by Lionsgate and Pantelion Films), and Lore: Deadly Obsession. Most recently she landed a role in the ensemble cast of Super Group Therapy, a fresh, rib-tickling web-series about super heroes in therapy. After numerous auditions, the creators tailored a role specifically for her, where she plays the hilariously desperate ‘Faithful Companion’, a wannabe superhero and dedicated sidekick. New episodes are released every Thursday on YouTube!
Katie's work as an actress and comic has been selected for the Telly Awards, Hugo Awards, Addy Awards, the Midwest Independent Film Festival, and numerous United Film Festivals.
Aside from her love of acting, Katie has an appetite for writing and performing original comedic raps. Oh, and she’s a closeted Food Network Whore. Welp, not anymore ;-)
