Model Katia Biassou is beautiful, talentedβand busy! Raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Katia describes being sheltered as a child. In her new surroundings, Katia learned to do a lot for herself. She studied public relations and travel and tourism at Webster University in Florida and laughed off friends who thought she should become a model.
But at 26, Katia decided to give it a shotβand, as they say, the rest is history! Another perk of the job is getting to visit many different parts of the country.
Although QVC hired her on the spot seven years ago, her audition was anything but a breeze. I just took the shoes off and kept on walking! I also enjoy entertaining and traveling. Katia and her husband, Gary, a successful lawyer, met when Katia was 18 their fathers went to medical school together. Can he come to your party? The couple has two young children: a daughter, Angelina, and a son, Alessio, who they are totally in love with.
Katia also recently gave birth to a hit song. They're sharing their stories and fabulous old job photos below! By the time I graduated college, I had an audition video ready to send out for a potential news job. It was a great place for me to start and get my feet wet while really learning the business.
That was when a lot of cities still only had male news anchors behind the desk. So it was rather groundbreaking back then.
