Katrina Kozar was a contestant on Season 6 of MasterChef. She ranked in 5th place.
Personality
Katrina started the competition as a nervous cook who lacked self-confidence. After receiving compliments from the judges and being the first one called up in the first Mystery Box, she gradually gained confidence and found her voice, becoming a great team captain and determined cook. She was generally a consistent cook, but would sometimes struggle under pressure with intricate dishes. She had some disagreements with Tommy during team challenges, but generally got along with everyone.

Quotes
- (After being eliminated) "Coming into this, I didn't know what level of skill I had, but I've been told over and over from the judges how good of a cook I am. Never thought that I could pursue my dream, but Gordon Ramsay has told me 'Yeah you can, Katrina'. I have more confidence coming out of this competition than coming in and I found my voice. I am truly humbled that Gordon believes in me that much to send me to Paris. I can't believe it, a girl from Wisconsin going to France."
