Cat grew up in sunny Southern California, and received her undergrad and graduate degrees in financial management through the Cal State system. After moving to Sacramento and working with lawyers as a certified paralegal, in the late 1990s she established a small consulting firm focusing on finance. A naturally strong problem solver with a positive approach, she quickly found her practice expanding to include other areas including IT, human resources, facilities management and design. When her Dad later became ill, she found herself learning new skills yet again by taking over the operation of her parents’ small ranch up in Ashland, Oregon, and caring for them. Cat is much more relaxed now, and pursuing her hobbies and passions while finding new opportunities to grow in her faith and her “heart work” of giving back.

Throughout her life, Cat also contributed her time to several local non-profit organizations, either as a board or committee member, and currently sits on the Board of Directors for Verge Center for the Arts.
