How Catherine is building a better working world

“I am passionate about culture and sustainability. Having the opportunity to help guide other organizations to embed these characteristics into their business purpose and ways of working is highly rewarding.

It’s important for me to conduct impactful work every day, whether that be collaborating pro-bono with the International Senior Lawyers Project to provide anti-bribery and corruption training in Zimbabwe or seeking out new strategies and operational improvements for clients here in Canada. It’s an incredible opportunity and a privilege to leaving something positive behind.”
