Two truths and a lie:

1. I fainted under the Eiffel Tower

2. I ate one box of Velveeta Mac and Cheese everyday for 8 days

3. I can apply lipstick perfectly while blindfolded

Hi there - I’m Katelyn Sabater, a Latina freelance associate producer from Miami, FL based in New York City. My creativity and love for connecting with strangers inadvertently led me to my career in storytelling starting at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism.

I most recently worked at MTV News, where I used my experience in pitching, producing, reporting, shooting and editing for their award-winning video franchise, Need To Know, and digital-team, IMPACT. We covered issues that mattered most to Gen-Z and millennials, breaking down trending stories with an emphasis on social justice, climate activism, and mental health. Gen-Z’s fight against the Willow Project, the push to ban TikTok at universities, and Congressman Maxwell Frost talking music and his identity, are some examples of how we used entertainment entry points to tell important stories.

Prior to my time at MTV News, I freelanced as an Associate Producer on reality shows for networks like MTV and HBO MAX, worked on stories about professional athletes for teams like the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Lighting, and created promotional content for some of Telemundo’s most famous Latina talk show hosts.

At the start of my career, I worked for about four years in local news as an Associate Producer, then a Multimedia Journalist at CBS Miami and Georgia’s 13WMAZ. It was during that time I learned to become adaptable and detail-oriented, all while under a tight time constraint - covering topics such as COVID-19 vaccine deserts in rural Georgia and women leaving the workforce during the pandemic.

When I’m not working on a story, I love to binge watch Bravo Reality TV or play with my 86-pound Chocolate Lab, Bluey.
