I personally worked under Catherine while interning at Detour Filmproduction in Fall 2021. Catherine is a wonderful manager and leader who excelled at teaching me how to work in a studio office environment. I had loads of questions, especially when first starting this position. She made sure I was comfortable and knowledgeable with my tasks. She is dependable and patient, as well as incredibly kind. I learned a great deal about the administrative workings of the film industry while reporting to her. In addition to being a great manager, she's also a wonderful assistant to Richard Linklater. I fully believe she'll continue to excel in the future and anyone would be lucky to work with her.

It was a pleasure working under Catherine at Detour Inc.! She is well-versed in office maintenance, always open to answering questions, and determined to make the internship program a great learning experience. Catherine always exercises patience and understanding in her administration, while simultaneously challenging me to expand my horizons within film and to perform my best.
