With 2 1/2 decades under her belt and a fair amount of gumption, Catherine embraces the human experience through learning as a student of life and through the daily interactions with the middle schoolers that call her Miss Catherine.

A Muskegon native, Catherine enjoys the farmer’s market, supporting local businesses, and bon fires (ideally with marshmallow roasting).
