Katrina Mae De Lara Tolentino (born January 27, 1995) is a Filipino-Canadian professional volleyball player for the Choco Mucho Flying Titans of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
Early life Tolentino was born on January 27, 1995, in Vancouver, British Columbia. She grew up in neighboring Richmond and graduated from McMath Secondary School in 2013.
College career Following her high school graduation, she relocated to the Philippines to pursue higher education at Ateneo de Manila University. Before relocating to the Philippines, Tolentino had already suffered two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in her left knee. Just as she was set to make her debut for the Ateneo Lady Eagles in 2015, she tore the ACL in her right knee during a game in the Shakey's V-League, which required ACL reconstruction surgery and several months of rehabilitation. Tolentino eventually recovered and played for the Lady Eagles, rising to the position of joint team captain alongside Maddie Madayag during UAAP Season 80. After the suspension of UAAP Season 82 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she chose to forego her final collegiate playing year in 2021 and began pursuing a professional volleyball career.
Professional career In 2021, Tolentino joined the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
Tolentino was unable to compete in 2024 due to hearing loss in her left ear. She was sidelined again in 2025 after suffering a ruptured appendix.
