Katie Mae Peters was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming. Growing up she gravitated toward performance appearing in school plays from a young age. In high school she enrolled in a three year film study program, which opened the doors to her passion for screen acting and production work. While in high school Katie achieved several accolades. Her junior year she auditioned for and was accepted into the British American Drama Academy's summer session for students. At her first and only Wyoming State Drama Competition, she won 1st Place Dramatic Monologue out of approximately 103 entrants for her monologue performance from the play The 5th of July. She was also awarded Most Outstanding Video Production Student for her work on NCTV, her high school cable show. Katie was later awarded a full ride scholarship to study Performance Theatre at Casper College where she double majored in both Performance Theatre and Theatre Technologies. After finishing college Katie joined the Board of Directors for Stage III Theatre where she continued acting in numerous shows such as Our Town, Regrets Only, and The House of Blue Leaves. During her time with Stage III Theatre, Katie developed a passion for roller derby. Quickly excelling in the sport, she adopted the skating alter ego Vivien LeighEmOut and eventually secured the coveted position of manager for Team USA Roller Derby. Theatre took a back burner while Katie toured around the world with Team USA doing boot camps, exhibition bouts, and competitive games. Once Team USA clenched the World Cup title, Katie toured around the world solo coaching. After completing a one month stint in South Africa, she booked a flight back to the states and landed in Atlanta, Georgia. The booming film industry made it easy to be thrust back into the movie industry. Katie accepted several production jobs on films and TV shows in the area before deciding her true passion could no longer be ignored. In the summer of 2015, she relocated to Austin, Texas and re-branded herself as an actor. Within her first month of being in the Lone Star State, she signed with her first agent and became the co-founder of the production company Eat My Short Films.
