Katrina is currently performing for the new Channel 10 sketch show The Wedge playing regular characters Sandra Sultry, the Wedgedale Plaza Spruiker, sports reporter Kirsty Maltshake and others.

Previously she's performed alongside Fiona Harris (SkitHouse) in their Moosehead Award Melbourne International Comedy Festival show Footy Chicks. She's also played the lead role in Economy Class, an Australian telemovie with Charles 'Bud' Tingwell and Marg Downey; and key roles in two independent features yet to be released - Cold a supernatural thriller by Gerard Cogley and Move! Where Are You Going? by an Italian company, director Pietro Jona.

Katrina was one of the regular writer/performers in the ABC TV sketch comedy series Flipside with the Curry brothers, and last year was a regular cast member for the daily radio drama serial The Breakfast Shift on ABC 774 Melbourne Radio.

She's also played one of the main roles in her short feature Crazy Richard (co-directed with Dean Francis), and has appeared as the lead in a multi-award winning CD Rom about heroin addiction Shot, as well as many guest roles on shows such as Blue Heelers and a host of short films and independent theatre.
