About me:
Let me introduce myself, my name is Katia, I was born and Ukraine.At 15 I relocated to NZ with my family.I lived there for six years,studying and embrassing on local culture.After finishing my last course 6 months ago I moved to Sydney to pursue acting. I was professionally trained in NZ, where I graduated from two acting schools; I also did intensive, workshops on different acting techniques. I'm looking into doing more training in Sydney, and at present working on two short films. I’m looking for representation in Sydney, but independed at the moment. I also do a fair bit of photographic modeling, promotional work and TV commercials.I know, that I am an entertainer at heart, I’m not afraid to laugh at myself, and don't get embarrassed by much.I’m perfectly comfortable being on stage in front of a big audience,or in front of a camera, in fact that's when I’m at my best, and I enjoy doing it.I am a professional and I pride myself in my work ethic, effort and flexible attitude.

Agent:
Independed at the moment, as i have just moved countries.
