Meet Cathy
I grew up with parents who encouraged me to follow my passions, so I did. In college I majored in Anthropology and Sociology because I love people and cultures. After graduating, I had no idea what to do next, so I decided to visit my college career center to explore my options. While I knew I wouldn’t be the next Indiana Jones, I was shocked and disappointed to be told my degrees pointed to one very specific career path. I didn’t like this narrow view and decided to become a career counselor to help others find their calling and pursue their passion. (You can check out my qualifications below for more information). I live in Lewisburg, PA with my husband Paul, daughters Deborah and Megan, a dog and two cats. I have had the good fortune to work with many wonderful people with various backgrounds, situations and needs and look forward to working with you!
