She is proficient in German, Igbo. Colleagues describe her as "I have known Catherine for 12 years. We first met at Episcopal Relief and Development where she was brought in to work with leadership givers and manage a national, church-wide campaign. Since then, I have worked with Catherine in multiple contexts. One of her top, and indeed stellar qualities, is her ability to maintain control and grace under pressure. Whether as a fellow fundraiser in a professional setting, as a volunteer, or as a consultant, she has a strength that staff and board volunteers respect. She will ask hard questions, yet is kind and thoughtful in her questioning. When she has to deliver summative information, she is extremely fair and thorough, and thoughtful in the presentation of difficult information. You cannot hire a better consultant. Catherine is a strategic thinker who rapidly and accurately assesses a situation. She scans the environments, crafts incisive questions, and then follows up by conducting thorough inquiries with stakeholders and other influential people in an organization. This approach often gets at the heart of an organization, its people, the structure, infrastructure, and its past successes, potential for future success, and its challenges. Catherine has a gift for pulling people together, encouraging them to embrace their and the organization’s strengths, inspiring them to work collaboratively (key volunteers and staff), empowering them to leverage their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. She has helped me do this successfully in two religious organizations, at Episcopal Church Foundation and at Church of St. Luke’s in the Field. I give her my highest recommendation." and "I have worked with Catherine at Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office implementing a development database. Catherine is a consummate professional. She is the rare individual who can see the big picture but is also detail oriented."
