Testimonials
Catherine is truly an amazing editor, writer and manager of complex projects.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work on a project for the New Jersey Parents Caucus. Kathy, the director, was very responsive and supportive. She provided everything I needed to get started and was helpful in providing useful context for the project. It was very gratifying to have contributed to the organization's good work in supporting youth and their families. I would definitely help this organization again if given the opportunity.
