If you are looking for someone passionate about her job, whom loves what she does and the kids she works with, you have to meet Kia. Years ago when we lived in Florida, she was our go-to person for self-tapings and one-on-one coaching on particular roles.
Now, from California she is still the one we reach out to when we need extra help or guidance to perfect a character. There’s been times she would stay up till midnight to Skype because of our time difference - after she had worked all day. Who else would do that? We can’t think of enough positive things to say about her as a professional, and now as a dear friend. Having Kia by your side through this crazy journey helps, from preparation to positive encouragement and complete honesty. We are blessed to have her in our lives in every way.

Working with Miss Kia is an experience that you will never discover anywhere else. As soon as you walk into her class you already know your going to learn a lot of great things from her! She has taught me things that I will forever use for the rest of my acting career and I could not have done it without her!”

When you work with Ms. Kia you not only grow as an artist, you grow as a person. Going to class is truly like going home. Kia has become my second mom and one of the few people who I fully trust with my craft. She's incredibly knowledgeable, caring and talented and she gives 110% to every single one of her students, always."

StarCatcher Acting Studio is literally one of my favorite places ever. It’s a place where I know I can always be myself and always experiment with new ideas, motives, and jokes whether that’s in a self-tape or a tutoring session or a class. Not only is Miss Kia a patient and intelligent woman who has genuine care for her students’ craft/wellbeing, but she only hires staff who feel exactly the same. I’ve grown beyond belief with Miss Kia and her team, and I am truly grateful to have found a place with such support, love, and dedication.
Savannah Grace Elmer
My daughter Savannah has been taking classes with Ms. Kia for the past 3.5 years. During that time, I have seen tremendous growth in my daughter as an actor. Overall, the classes have not only given my daughter a good technical foundation but they have also given her the confidence to go out there and pursue her dreams.

Kia helped me find my love for acting again through her engaging and honest coaching style. She creates a safe learning environment for each of her students to grow in and gives you the tools you need to succeed in your craft. Thank you Kia for guiding your students with your enriching feedback and truthfulness, you’re a gift to every one of us!
Selah Austria, Legacies
Kia has really helped me take my acting to the next level! Instead of thinking about what I would do in a situation, she’s taught me to consider what the character would do. She’s also helped me break down my scenes and showed me that every moment is important, not just those where I’m speaking. I can’t say enough good things about her! Highly recommend!
Gail Soltys, Talia in the Kitchen
Kia truly cares about each one of her students and our growth. She has the knowledge and experience to direct and guide me in being the best actress I can be. She gives me the tools and freedom to explore and bring the truth to life in every character I read for.
