Biography
Winnick was born Katerena Anna Vinitska on December 17, 1977, in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. Winnick didn't know any English growing up, speaking primarily in Ukranian until she was eight years old. Winnick also spent the majority of her childhood training in martial arts, first training when she was seven years old and even started three martial arts schools by the time she was 21. However, acting was still something dear in Winnick's heart, and after she graduated from York University, Winnick moved to New York to start an acting career. Winnick got her first on-screen role in 1999, when she was cast as Suzie in an episode of the fantasy-mystery series PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal. Winnick got her first recurring role that same year, when she was cast as Holly Benson for 5 episodes of the family-comedy series Student Bodies. Since then, Winnick has appeared in TV shows and movies such as Person of Interest, Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, When Nietzsche Wept, The Dark Tower, Call of Duty: WWII, Bones, Nikita, Tranced, The Art of the Steal, Vikings: Athelstan's Journal, Vikings, and Criminal Minds.

On Criminal Minds
Winnick portrayed Maggie Lowe, a delusional serial-turned-spree killer and stalker of her boss Lila Archer, in the Season One episode Somebody's Watching.
