“I have been at WPKN for over thirty years and can say that Catherine brings fresh ideas and new approaches to our station. She is one of our most talented on-air programmers and her show, “The Kitchen Sink,” is always well prepared, informed and engaging. She brings her enthusiasm, professionalism and unique programming to our listening community and in addition Catherine’s on-air persona is warm and inviting which makes you not want to miss a minute of her program. 

As our Public Affairs Director, Catherine keeps our community informed by posting and creating content of great value to WPKN. She can produce high level and professional multimedia content as she has demonstrated continuously for our station. What makes Catherine so valuable and special is her willingness to connect to our community through her involvement with the station.

Radio for some may seem quaint or old fashioned, but  Catherine brings a cool factor which delights our audience with her show and inspires others to hone their craft to be on par with her. I say with great pride that Catherine is a member of WPKN and we are very fortunate to have her give so willingly of her time and talent on our behalf.”

“I had the pleasure and good fortune of working with Catherine on a community effort called Black Rock PorchFest. Catherine joined a small group of volunteer organizers the first year we launched this small, grassroots music event. I quickly saw that Catherine was a tremendous asset to the team, especially in regards to marketing the event. As a nonprofit communications professional, I was struck not only by her marketing smarts, but by her competency across platforms and ability to always choose the right words and strike the right tone.

Catherine is also gifted in connecting with people, putting them at ease and finding the right roles and partnerships to advance a cause. Given Catherine's talent and dedication, she became the obvious heir apparent and has run the event for the past several years, bringing it to the next level in every way. While she makes it look easy, I know it's been a tremendous amount of work - a true labor of love.”
