She has graced the pages of Mohagany and Grace magazine, and has become permanent fixture on runways throughout the region. " I love runway. That's where unleash the beast, "The Lioness"  emerges from her den and charges."             
       
     Although a true fashionista Kat she is not limited to a career in modeling. She is a true mutli-threat, a credited theater performer, vocalist, and even published writer. Taking the stage for the first time at the tender age of  4, her infectous personality as an actress, and melodic vocal ability were undeniable. "Above all else I'm a performer. I'm going to entertain you at all cost. Rather its runway, acting or singing. Performing is my self expression, my release therapy." says Kat.

Though she remaining tight lipped about her future ventures, she does say... "My whole career has fueled by me believing that I have a higher purpose." "I can obtain all the fame and notoriety in the world, but if I fail inspire and make a difference in at least one life then all my works are in vein."
