Bio
Julia Borggren
I’ve had the pleasure to work with Catherine a couple of times and I always feel confident with her by my side. Not only does she spread joy and laughter by telling anecdotes, but she also creates trust and engagement being curious and open-minded. One of Catherines best qualities according to me is her relaxed mindset, never stressed without a really good reason to be. That, combined with her way of communicating her thoughts and opinions makes her to an anchor, one of those supportive persons you know you can go to and get new perspective on things. Catherine always seems to ponder about things in her surroundings and in the world, which might be the reason why she is the most well-educated person I know. Who needs Google when you have Catherine? Even though it’s hard to describe a person in only a couple of words I would choose the following words to describe Catherine: Bright, aspirant, story-teller and loyal. My experience from working with Catherine is that she always does her best, always keeps her promises and don’t settle with just anything but always strive for something extra. With her qualities mentioned above I am sure she will keep on developing, follow her passion and learn for life and I would love to work with her again in the future.
