About Me

Hi there! My name is Cathy and I am an NYC native, currently based in Chicago as a graduate student at Northwestern University pursuing a Master of Science in Journalism with a health, environment, and science specialization.

I most recently worked as a metro correspondent for The Boston Globe, reporting on breaking news, local crime, and other general assignments in New England, such as stories on protests, weather, and occasionally bird sightings in Massachusetts. I was also an editorial intern for Frontline PBS this summer where I assisted the senior editorial team of the investigative journalism documentary series with heavy fact-checking of four running films about Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election, far-right extremism in Germany, a year of war in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Milwaukee families in poverty.

In past years, I was an editorial assistant for the magazine, travel, and address sections of the Globe, a consumer marketing co-op at the Globe, and a freelance copyeditor at The Boston Herald. Outside of the Globe, you can find my bylines on Boston.com, The Scope Boston, The Huntington News, and the Head of the Charles' official website.

I graduated from Northeastern University's Class of 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and minors in communication studies and environmental studies.
