Chargée de superviser l’équipe, le recrutement de bénévoles, les événements locaux où le mouvement Bleu Terre de la Fondation David Suzuki se mobilisait à Montréal, Catherine avait (a) un rôle stratégique de coordination avec le responsable de la Fondation David Suzuki et avec les bénévoles Bleu Terre de Montréal. En tant que capitaine de l’équipe des bénévoles Bleu Terre, Catherine est une personne sensible, organisée et avec des grandes capacités de réflexions stratégiques et de communication. C’est un élément moteur et dévouée à notre équipe de bénévoles sans qui le bon développement du mouvement Bleu Terre dans les communautés étudiantes et de transition à Montréal ne serait pas le même. C’est un grand plaisir de travailler avec elle et c’est pourquoi je la recommande vivement pour une mission de communication ou de coordination d’équipe.
