Catalina recently graduated from the University of Waterloo with an Arts and Business, Political Science Honours Co-op degree. She currently works full time at an international bank while managing her singing, songwriting, and acting career on the side.

She began singing at the age of 3 starting off in school and church choirs. She later took on private vocal lessons and soon began writing her own songs. This eventually opened up doors for her into the modeling and acting industry. It has not been easy having two very different careers but Catalina is always up for a challenge, which has helped her to become very well-rounded and flexible.

On her days off, Catalina enjoys traveling and exploring different cities, cultures and food. She has a strong passion for working with people and for learning different languages, speaking English, French, Spanish, Cantonese and a little bit of German and Japanese.

Through her co-op program, Catalina has also gained a background in many different fields, having worked in many different industries including software, technology, human resources, communications, business and law. She has completed her Cisco Certification, represented her university as a delegate at the Harvard Model United Nations conference and has been an active volunteer with many organizations such as Child Find, Kids Help Phone, Heart and Stroke Foundation and Habitat for Humanity.

Her long-term goals are to become an ambassador for the United Nations as well as to continue pursuing her singing and acting career. She hopes to one day release a CD and be in an action movie.
