Hey y’all! My name is Kat, and I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. I live my life to the fullest through God everyday and am a Lyme disease warrior! I live to be outdoors and exploring our beautiful planet, and loving all creatures that live here with us.

I have been dancing since I was three and acting since I was six. I did advanced theatre all throughout grade school and graduated a year early from high school, to focus on my health and career as an actress and petite model. I’ve loved acting and modeling as long as I can remember; it is my biggest passion, along with a love of all animals. Acting and modeling have always come naturally to me, as my family and friends have told me. Both for me, bring me so much happiness, because I love creating and bringing stories to life. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life, along with having a family one day.

As the next Fashion Hero, I would want to break the standards completely on height in the modeling industry. As someone who is only 5’0”, I’ve been rejected from agencies only because of my height. Even for petite modeling I’ve been turned away because I’m still “too short”. It’s 2019 and I believe it’s time to change the stigma that those who are short can’t model. I would also want to bring awareness to invisible diseases, such as Lyme disease; which I have been battling for 14 years now. So many people in the whole world who have what are called “invisible diseases”, are told they are crazy by mainstream doctors, because you can’t see their illness as easily as others. The suicide rates are extremely high in these cases because they listen to what their doctors say. Which can totally be prevented if all doctors were properly educated and trained on all the invisible diseases. Not only do I want to change the modeling industry, I want to help as many people in this world that I can by bringing awareness and research to those who are extremely ill but don’t show it on the outside.
