In addition to being a longtime Prince George resident and community champion, Catherine is also a national award-winning broadcaster with more than two decades of experience working in journalism.

At CKPG (Pattison Media), Catherine has held every job in the newsroom from reporter to anchor to producer, leading and sharing her knowledge with others.  While not at work, she is a voice, dance and speech arts coach, adjudicator and performer, with a diploma from the Music Theatre program at Sheridan College.
