At the end of May 2020, McBeath and Nathan Bartholomay announced that they had teamed up and were training in Irvine, California under Jenni Meno, Todd Sand, Christine Binder, and Chris Knierim.{{cite web |title=Katie McBeath/Nathan Bartholomay |url=http://isuresults.com/bios/isufs00111724.htm |website=ISU Results |publisher=ISU |access-date=October 25, 2022}}{{Cite web |date=November 3, 2022 |title=Pairs Skaters McBeath & Bartholomay Bring Romance On & Off Ice This Season |url=https://usfigureskatingfanzone.com/news/2022/11/3/rinkside-pairs-skaters-mcbeath-bartholomay-bring-romance-on-off-ice-this-season.aspx |access-date=March 30, 2024 |website=U.S. Figure Skating Fan Zone |language=en}} They made their debut as a pair as at the virtual ISP Points Challenge, where they were seventh.

McBeath/Bartholomay made their international debut at the 2021 2021 Cranberry Cup International, where they finished seventh. They followed this up with an eighth-place finish at the 2021 John Nicks Pairs Challenge and fifth-place finish at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International.

In January, McBeath/Bartholomay placed fifth at the 2022 U.S. Championships, before going on to finish fifth at the 2022 Four Continents Championships.

McBeath/Bartholomay began the season by placing sixth at the 2022 MK John Wilson Trophy and sixth at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb.

== 2023–24 season ==

In July 2023, it was announced that McBeath had teamed up with Russian-born pair skater, Daniil Parkman and that they would train at Great Park Ice under coaches Jenni Meno, Todd Sand, Christine Binder, and Brandon Frazier.

The pair debuted at the 2023 U.S. Pairs Final where they won the gold medal, thus qualifying for the 2024 U.S. Championships. McBeath/Parkman skated a strong solid short program, placing third in that segment of the competition. However, during practice the following day, McBeath's blade snapped and fractured into two pieces while landing a throw jump. As a result, McBeath had to complete the free skate on a new blade. The pair dropped to fifth place overall following an error-ridden free skate.{{r|SS-KMDP}} Following the event, McBeath said, “It’ll make us stronger. We can call upon this moment if we have some other kind of emergency. Like, okay, what did we learn? That’s what we’ll take from it.”

== 2024–25 season ==

McBeath/Parkman began their season by competing at the 2024 John Nicks International Pairs Competition, where they finished fifth. Selected as host picks for 2024 Skate America, they finished seventh at the event.{{r|SS-KMDP}}{{cite tweet |number=1834688414970519702 |user=AnythingGOE |title=🇺🇸 Lucas Broussard, 🇺🇸 Elyce Lin-Gracey, 🇺🇸 Katie McBeath / Daniil Parkman, And 🇺🇸 Isabella Flores / Ivan Desyatov Are the Skate America Host Picks |date=September 13, 2024}} They were later assigned to the 2024 Cup of China as well, where they placed fifth.

In January, at the 2025 U.S. Championships, McBeath/Parkman placed fourth in the short program and second in the free skate, winning the silver medal overall. “It feels absolutely amazing!” McBeath exclaimed. “It has been a dream to be on a national podium, and it came through today, so I’m very happy about that for us.” This result marked McBeath's first national medal. The team were then named as first alternates for the World Championship team.{{Cite web |date=January 26, 2025 |title=U.S. Figure Skating Names Pairs World, World Junior and Four Continents Team Selections {{!}} U.S. Figure Skating |url=https://www.usfigureskating.org/news/press-release/us-figure-skating-names-pairs-world-world-junior-and-four-continents-team |access-date=January 27, 2025 |website=www.usfigureskating.org |language=en}}
