About

Katie was raised in a metal foundry, but sculpture wasn't her medium.

Katie started acting as a kid in the San Francisco Bay Area, went college in San Diego, and got her MFA in Acting at Harvard and the Moscow Art Theatre School (MXAT), and has since settled in Tongva Land with her husband and no dog.

 

Katie has been particularly lucky to get to work on a number of new works across the country in recent years. Her favorite work is new play development, and she's been lucky to tackle this work from many sides - as an actor, dramaturg, director, and producer. Still no dog, though.

Katie's work as a Company Member at Native Voices at the Autry - as well as a member of the core Artistic team at the theater for 5+ years - has been a particular highlight for her personally and professionally. She is a descendant of the Chickasaw and Cherokee Nations, and it is an honor to play a role in cultivating stories from American Indian communities, contribute to her community's voice in the American Theatre, and to share in this cultural moment creatively and personally.

"Are you gonna merge, or what?"
