Fed up with the frigid winters of her native state, Catherine was lured to North Carolina in 2006. She grew up in Wisconsin where she spent much of her time making music and telling stories. Prior to joining WUNC, Catherine was a reporter and hosted All Things Considered at Wisconsin Public Radio. She got her start hosting late-nights and producing current events talk shows for the station's Ideas Network. She later became a classical music host and recorded books for WPR's popular daily program, Chapter A Day.
Catherine is just as comfortable on stage as she is behind the microphone. She studied opera in college and holds a Masters Degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [Favorite characters include Ramiro in Mozart's La Finta Giardinera, Satirino in Cavalli's La Calisto and the title role in Britten's The Rape of Lucretia.] These days, Catherine enjoys romping with her felines, exploring the local farmer's markets, and watching Brett Favre play football. Go Jets!
