I passionately chased the dream to be a ballet dancer for the first two decades of my life. Since then, I have choreographed my career around my love of writing.
In the 18 years that I have been a journalist, I have worked at The New York Daily News, CNN, CNNMoney, Entrepreneur and CNBC. I am capable of turning out quick hits and longer, character-driven stories.
After covering the evolution of the crowdfunding industry for years, I launched a web series on Entrepreneur.com, Crowdfund with Cat. Each episode provides an inside scoop on crowdfunding news, best practices and advice for running a crowdfunding campaign.
Though I was thrilled to get Crowdfund with Cat started, it only lasted one season. I was invited to be one of the first team members to be part of getting CNBC's new digital project, CNBC Make It, off the ground. After covering entrepreneurship for years, the idea of being part of a journalism startup within a larger company was compelling. I started in August 2016 and since then the section has grown faster than I could have ever expected.
Most recently, I am focused on climate innovation and technology. I see climate change as one of the largest existential threats to humanity, and I am passionate about using my skillset as a writer and reporter to contribute to humanity's collective response.
