Catherine's Story
Life
After college, I spent three years with a consulting firm and two years working at Harvard. I moved to New York City in 1991 to work for Georgetown's regional fundraising office, and have been in the City ever since.
I joined Columbia University in 1993 and have always been in fundraising roles here. Along the way, I was sponsored for the Columbia Executive MBA Program, which was a tremendous personal and professional experience. It was difficult at times since I hadn't had any finance or statistics courses since college, but it was well worth my effort.
I met my husband at Columbia. We both took a whitewater kayaking class and he taught me how to roll (very important!!) Once he did that, I was smitten. We became such avid boaters that our family called ...Expand for more
it "the cult." We travelled to beautiful rivers in the U.S., South America, and Europe. We were married on the Hudson River (of course) in 2002.
Our kayaks are seeing very little whitewater these days. Our daughter, Olivia, was born in August 2003 and our son, Daniel, was born in September 2006! We live in the Columbia neighborhood, so my commute will never be as easy as it is right now! My husband did his PhD in Economics at Columbia and works on Wall Street. When he's not working in New York, he spends a lot of time in San Francisco where his company also has an office. And, when he's not working in New York or San Francisco, he tries to get some running in every week.
That's my life--I'm hoping to get to the next reunion in January since I missed our 20th.
