Born and raised in Minnesota, Katlynne ventured out to the vibrant city of Los Angeles at just 18, with big dreams of acting and modeling. She has worked with brands such as Liquid IV, Toyota, Coca-Cola, and L’ange Hair, among others. She has appeared in numerous music videos and short films and guest-starred on YouTubers RCLBeauty101 as Cinderella in Disney-inspired videos, as well as in Smile Squad. Beyond Katlynne’s work in entertainment, she is a dedicated wedding coordinator committed to turning big dreams into realities. Her biggest aspiration is to establish her own event planning company in the future, focusing on luxury picnics, birthday parties, and weddings. Katlynne is also a chinchilla mom to two rescued chinchillas, Lulu and Lyria. After their adoption, Katlynne realized that there are few voices for small animals like chinchillas, which are nearing extinction in the wild due to illegal hunting for their luxurious fur. They inspired her to start her platform, Chins and Whiskers. Through this platform, she educates and informs via her chinchilla’s Instagram, ‘Chins_and_Whiskers,’ and raises funds through her Etsy shop to donate to rescues and organizations that save wild chinchillas.
