Bio
Caitríona B.
Catherine and I completed the Learning Waves 360 Radio Bootcamp together from September - December 2020. Catherine stood out to me for her calm nature and for reliably updating our class on project details that someone may have missed. Catherine got to grips with audio recording and was very helpful and forthcoming with clever ways of successful mobile recording in the face of covid restrictions.
