Catherine comes from Boulder, Colorado. After graduating from Georgetown University in the spring of 2014, she set off for Asia to travel for a couple weeks with a group of friends. She ended up staying for six months to teach English and Economics at a small school on the Thailand-Burma border. After her time in Asia, she spent an amazing year in Australia working as the Program Assistant for NYU Sydney, one of the university’s newest Global Program sites. However, Southeast Asia continues to draw her back. She is thrilled to join the 2016-2017 program to teach again and delve into more Burmese language study.
