Katia Lalanne
Katia grew up in a small town on the South Shore of Montreal. She has a background in social sciences, mathematics, art, 2D/3D animation, and a master's in education. Katia’s family is made up of teachers, and as a student, she naturally hated being related to teachers. She opted for 2D/3D animation at the beginning of her career but was later offered a job teaching Photoshop, which she ended up loving. After that, Katia went to university and got an M.A. in teaching, and the rest is history. She’s been with 2020 since 2006 and that is where she met and married her husband.
Who was your favorite teacher growing up and why?
I had many inspiring teachers during my school years. They were devoted, patient, had an awesome sense of humor, always eager to help a willing student and were recognized as good teachers by students for their ability to share their knowledge.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Help struggling attendees and see them succeed, the variety of the locations, and the continuous learning you need to keep up to date.
What is your favorite location/city to train in?
Any place where we can find good food and see some local areas (I love state parks!).
