Katia grew up watching her father’s massive VHS tape collection. Being an only child, films and television became her main source of entertainment. For years she was specifically drawn to video editing. Noticing her interest, her parents bought her an inexpensive editing program called Roxio Videowave Movie Creator when she was 13. She would stay up at all hours of the night editing videos she shot on her handy-cam or making montages of scenes from famous films. Her interest eventually led her to study Film & Television at Savannah College of Art & Design with a focus in video editing.

Currently, Katia lives in Brooklyn, NY where you can usually find her cooking at home, doing plenty of DIY experiments, eating copious amounts of Asian food, thrifting, doing weird voices, or singing.

For the past few years, she’s been taking a slew of improvisation, acting, and voice acting classes to take additional steps towards her voice/acting career. Over the spring of 2022, she accomplished her first audiobook, reading for a mystery novel titled, Not Me.

As far as recent editing accomplishments, in April 2023, the television segment from Good Morning America called Breaking the Mental Health Stigma for Black Women” has received an honorary Webby nomination. She recently won a Silver Telly award for craft-editing for the film Black Girls in 2024.

The next mission in her journey, includes songwriting, making music with her friends and learning more about food and plant growth.
