Catie is a writer with a gift to make in-depth topics not only easy to understand but interesting as well. I was the publisher of the Morning News and Catie wrote as one of the writers. Whether the story was a city council meeting, a complex zoning issue, the legislative report, or an emergency, Catie always took copious notes and covered the topic completely. Many times, Catie would break the story down into multiple parts. I frequently received positive feedback from the community, telling me that they had learned from Catie’s work. Another veteran news anchor reported that she could learn more by reading Catie’s story than by attending the same meeting herself. That was high praise.
I love having Catie on my staff. Nothing was ever too difficult, too complex, (or) too technical for Catie to get to the core message.
If I am ever in a position to need writers again, Catie will be my first call.
