Over the summer, Don't Touch My Podcast says, "Don't Touch my Politics" as we sit down with political candidates running for the Worcester City Council and School Committee seats.

About Katia:

My name is Katia Norford and I’m a proud Dominican living in

Worcester District 4 for over 20 years. I am married to Carlos Norford

and we are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters, Gisela and

Shadelis. Together, my husband and I own Carlitos Barbershop,

located in 925 Main St Worcester for over 18 years.

Before I arrived in the United States, I ran my own business, Katia’s

Salon, in my home country. I started working when I was only 13

years old, and since then, I have been passionate about serving my

community. I have an Associate in science in Accounting graduated

from Salter College in 2009.

I have been a Board Member of the MSBA for 4 and half years, and I

am also a Board Member of the MSCDC and the MSNBBA. I am also

the club director at my local church. My goal is to help those around

me become the best versions of themselves, and I strive to do this

through my work. I am passionate about making a difference in my

community and inspiring others to achieve their goals. My mission is

to be an example of strength, resilience and determination to all

those I encounter. I strive to empower others to make positive

changes in their lives and to never give up on their dreams.

I love to spend time with my family, travel and learn about different

culture.

Blessings.
