A NEWSLETTER FROM ME

Join me on à la Cathy — a monthly slice of my life — from me to you. Most of you may know me as a public relations professional by day, but outside my 9 to 5, I often find myself in multi-hyphenated chaos. 

A doer (and lover) of many things, and in an ode to fulfilling when life gives you lemons, this newsletter will curate my favorite tidbits of beauty & wellness, all things taste, home & travel and of course — life as a #PRgirl. Expect career advice, industry tools & tips, powerful women spotlights and so much more.

HELLO, I’M CATHERINE

With a love for storytelling, creativity and culture, Catherine fell in love working with brands to help foster relationships and create inspiring impact. Through strategic, contemporary methods, she works closely with emerging and established brands from corporate retail to nonprofits, health communication and government, to food and lifestyle.

By cultivating and honing integrated marketing strategies to engage with niche audiences, Catherine provides media outreach to garner earned news coverage in top tier media publications and develops buzzworthy influential digital campaigns for her clients.

Catherine, an avid foodie herself, launched a community platform for boba tea tastemakers and connoisseurs alike called The Boba Social.

A proud Terp, Catherine graduated from University of Maryland, College Park with a degree in communications. When she's not on her laptop, she's probably treating herself to a cosmo-tai at Drybar or drinking a London fog latte...okay and maybe a boba milk tea.
