Katherine is a lifelong horsewoman (Polo, Showjumping, Three-day Eventing), an actress, and a writer (novelist and playwright) living in the United States. The daughter of a Military Pilot and a talented artist, she was discovered by a modeling scout at 16, in her home town of Corpus Christie, Texas. Upon graduating High School, Katherine moved to Chicago where she was signed by Jane Stewart's Elite Model Management. Within a few weeks, she was introduced to ground-breaking photographer, Victor Screbneski, who booked her extensively for I Magnin, and also for work that appeared in Vogue Magazine, and other top fashion magazines.
Soon after Katherine's 19th birthday, Gerald Marie (owner of Elite Paris) described her as "Star Potential," and within a week, she moved to Europe, where she worked in many of the fashion capitals for several years. She worked extensively for the fashion house of Christian Dior, and was hand-selected for modeling work by Domenico Dolcè and Stefano Gabbana (Dolcè & Gabana). Her modeling work ultimately took her to six continents and dozens of countries.
Katherine's earliest acting experience was initially through international television commercials, and small parts in European television shows.
After returning to the States, Katherine began to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional horsewoman, as the protégé of Mary D'Arcy, coach of the Irish Three-Day Event team.
She also competed in many national Showjumping competitions.
Soon after, she discovered the sport of Polo, achieving a handicap of zero with the USPA, and was mentored by legendary 10 goaler, Memo Gracida.
As an actress, Katherine Campos has appeared in many Independent Feature Films, Short Film, and Commercials. She has also been known to take to the Stage on occasion. She is a second-degree Black Belt, and very much enjoys choreographing Martial-Art's fight scenes for herself and her fellow actors for films.
