Throughout her life, Cat has been an academic and involved in sports. Cat has always been interested in leadership and intrigued by how emotions influence learning, emotion, and performance. Cat majored in psychology at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio where she is an active volunteer. She earned her Master of Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College, has taught elementary school in public, private, and charter schools, and established a Gifted and Talented program in a charter school.

During Business School at Cornell University’s Johnson School, Cat worked for Cornell Outdoor Education’s Teambuilding Program. In the classroom and on the ropes course, Cat realized how perfectionism and anxiety influence performance.  Cat specializes in counseling adults and children in sports, high stress situations, and life changes.

In late 2017, Cat went suddenly deaf.  She continues to consult clients by using Skype, Zoom, GoogleMeet, text, sign language, and speech-to-text applications.  In her blogs and at her new company, www.NeoHear.com, read about how Cat has used her mental skills training to adapt to this life-changing situation.  With her skills and experience in psychology, education, and counseling, Cat enjoys helping others process major life changes.

Cat likes to downhill ski, do yoga, play tennis, hike, and swim.
