Multilingual and world-traveled Dominican Republic-born actress, a self-proclaimed “Air Force Brat,” Katherine Castro is the only girl amongst her four siblings where artistic talent and passion were obvious from the start. From her toddler years, she would put on shows, sing, dance, and perform for her family and visiting guests.
Katherine’s parents noticed she was having problems with coordination and balance. Upon a doctor’s recommendation, she enrolled in ballet, jazz, tap, and gymnastics. Not only did she achieve balance and coordination, but Katherine also quickly became one of the most outstanding dancers in her school, winning many dance competitions while drawing comparisons to Rita Moreno. In her teens, her on-camera talent emerged, leading to a series of national commercials and hosting a daily national variety show. She then made the big move to Los Angeles and began training with renowned acting coach Aaron Speiser (coach for Will Smith, Gerard Butler, and Jennifer Lopez, among others).
