Having spent the last 10 years predominantly in narrative, she has, as of late, been taken with documentary; recently having traveled to Malaysia and Vietnam. Katie’s introduction to photography came as a gift from her mother, in the form of a camera.  Her love turned into a career when she worked as a photojournalist, a sports photographer, and as a print marketer over a span of 5 years. Michael Slovis’ work on AMC’s “Breaking Bad” captured Katie’s imagination and in 2014, she moved to LA to pursue a future in film.  She graduated from Cal State Northridge with a degree in film and an emphasis in cinematography, while working in the industry as a first AC and camera operator.
