In 2006 Katie won the title of Formula Una, Great Britain, at Silverstone representing Red Bull Racing Team where she got to race a mini moto bike with World Champion Kimi Raikonen and the girls even crushed a car with an ex-army tank. This saw her travel to Sao Paulo for the end of season race joining the other 'unas' from around the world. Following this she did voice-over news snippets for the team’s website and was then asked to co-host Ireland's Red Bull Soapbox Race 2008 alongside BBC Radio 1 DJ Colin Murray with crowds of 30,000 interviewing survivors at the end of the track. This lead to her presenting Live At The Limelight, a music series for UTV showcasing Irish talent, where Katie introduced the bands and interviewed them in the backstage green room.

Most recently she presented the Most Stylish Male Sports Star 2009 Award at the Ulster Tatler Style Awards, as well as working on a new adventure series pilot with a top production company!

Katie, who comes from Belfast in Northern Ireland, has gained experience with Northern Visions Community Television which broadcasts in the greater Belfast area, covering events such as The Lord Mayor’s Show, The Rose of Tralee, The Balmoral Agricultural Show, The University of Ulster Art College Degree Show, What Does It Take To Be A Zoopkeeper, fashion features on local designers, backstage at Miss Northern Ireland, The Tall Ships and more. Through NvTv she also completed a media/journalism course covering all aspects of production from camera and sound to final cut pro as well as being in front of the camera.

These include; white water rafting on the Nile, survival weekends skills, abseiling, rock climbing, helicopter rides, kayaking and mountain leadership qualifications, skiing, clay pigeon shooting, driving a 4 ton truck on old airfields, skydiving in Hawaii in superhero costumes and white water rafting at the source of the River Nile on 5 star rapids! Katie was part of a team who went to Jinga in Uganda in 2006 to dig a well. They also went on trekking expeditions and chewed on sugarcane as sweets along the way and it was here she even learnt to be a bricklayer! Setting up camp on the banks of Lake Victoria, with the toilet a hole in the ground and the shower a bucket and pulley system, the girls washed their hair daily in the lake itself.

As you can see, Katie is very well travelled, (having taken a gap year after graduating with a Fine Art Degree from the University of Ulster), and has seen all the continents as a back packing student and also in city breaks, as well as visiting places of culture, sightseeing the hot spots, museums and art galleries, her inquisitive mind has taken her off the beaten track.
