I have had the pleasure to work with Katia as the host of What’s Up Stratford for 6 seasons and my former TV show called First Local for two seasons. Katia was the Community Producer for Rogers TV. She is always flexible and fluid to be able to switch on the go which is necessary in production.  Katia is good at giving constructive feedback with practical examples. She was always on time and organized.  She was fun to work with and always serious about the end result. Thank you Katia.

I have with worked with Katia on several projects dating back over 10 years, and most recently on the television programme: Volunteers in Perth, Volunteers in the Know.  Quite simply Katia is awesome!  She really listens and tries to understand your goal and then goes about achieving it.  Collaborating with Katia is easy and a treat.  From all my interactions with Katia’s work it is always professional, polished and punctual.
