Cathy was born and raised in northern California, but has lived and studied all over the states. She attended the University of Arkansas Little Rock on a soccer scholarship, but you might say her real goal was marketing. In addition to 18 years in retail management, she volunteered for the Phoenix Symphony in the early 1990s, and re-established her California roots by being a docent at Point Lobos State Reserve in 1997-2003. A year after the birth of her first son, Dylan, in 2003, Cathy joined Ventana Wildlife Society as our Office Manager. Just as her family has grown and flourished with the addition of Lincoln in 2009, Cathy has grown in her role with VWS. As a graphic designer, you will find her creative talents on display in our website, annual reports, and Discovery Center. As an event planner, Cathy also plays a key role in our marketing, fundraising, and merchandise sales. In her spare time, she and her husband Geoff enjoy Superbike sports with the family, and all are heavily involved with Cub Scouting as volunteer Cub Camp Directors in the Silicon Valley/Monterey Bay area since 2016.
