Kathryn grew up in both Canada and Saudi Arabia but has lived in Los Angeles for the last decade. A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC at age 19, Kathryn began her career as an actor on stage and in film/TV in Toronto. She starred in several series and was twice nominated for a Gemini - the Canadian Emmy. Since her move to LA, Kathryn has worked on a slate of films and TV shows, most recently guest starring on Criminal Minds and a recurring role on The Fosters. Other credits include Jane The Virgin, The Quad, Single Ladies and Parenthood. In 2016, Kathryn co-founded Eastside Arts, a performing arts school for children. As a coach for many years, Kathryn desired for Eastside Arts to be a non-competitive environment where every student felt safe to play and explore. Kathryn lives in Highland Park with artist Jon Rannells and their two daughters. She serves on the board at the Pasadena Ronald McDonald House - a home away from home for critically ill children receiving treatment in local hospitals.
