Katie's first taste of performing in front of a big audience was during her school days when she was a member of a cheer-leading squad. Even though this is Katie's stage debut, performing has been her passion ever since. And for this 25 year-old petite lass who is a native of Bacolod, Philippines, dancing is her first love... and acting... is just incidental. Thanks to the AMERIKANA cast who talked her into joining this amazing cast and now she's very grateful that she found new friends that she now considers her extended family. To the cast: “You all rock and more power!”
