Personal details
- Professions: Actress
Katrina Eroen grew up soaking up the sunshine in Los Angeles, but don’t box her in as just another LA native—her roots stretch all the way to New York, where she hustled through Barnard College at Columbia, majoring in Theater and sneaking in a minor in American History for good measure. If you know anything about Shakespeare, she’s basically obsessed—trained at RADA in London, did a bunch of Shakespeare productions, and still finds ways to squeeze some iambic pentameter into her life. Lately, she’s been popping up in indie short films and even took the plunge producing (and starring in) a new play, Empathitrax. She’s got one foot in LA, one in NYC, and somehow keeps both acting and writing careers spinning. But don’t call her one-dimensional. Acting’s just one part of the equation—she’s also a loud, proud activist. Raised by a tough-as-nails single mom, Katrina’s all about lifting up women and girls. Back in 2016, she helped launch Her Time Now, a group that’s laser-focused on sticking up for women’s rights and giving girls the tools to take on the world, whether that means politics, art, or just having the guts to speak up. When she’s not knee-deep in scripts or activism, she’s probably off somewhere with a backpack. She’s hit six continents (seriously, who does that?) and seems dead-set on collecting passport stamps like they’re going out of style.
Katrina Eroen, yeah, she’s a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, which isn’t just a neat little fact—it actually shapes a lot of how she moves through life. There’s this vibe about her that feels grounded, like she’s carrying stories and traditions that go way deeper than what you see on the surface. Sometimes you catch her referencing family or tribal stuff, and you realize, oh, this isn’t just background noise. It’s a real part of who she is. It’s not all serious, though—she’s got this sharp sense of humor and doesn’t let people stereotype her or put her in a box. If you ever end up in a trivia showdown and her name pops up, don’t forget this detail. It’s one of those things that might seem small but actually says a lot, you know? So yeah, Katrina Eroen—Cherokee Nation, and she wears it with pride.
