She developed and hosted The Kat Call series, where she debunked taboos and misconceptions about the Latino community.
The series as a whole has garnered over 15 million views.
Kat attended NYC's prestigious LaGuardia High School of The Performing Arts where she studied classical theater and began auditioning at 16 years old. But after years of casting directors asking her to "say it a little more urban" or "can you give us a neck roll" she decided to take things into her own hands and make her own media.
Recently, she's worked as an associate producer on a universal and mass appeal documentary about Reggaeton and she's also hosted the Thrillist travel series Barrio USA, exploring "the vibrant world of Latinx culture all over America.” Read Less ^
