Originally from Tucson, AZ, her Bay Area life is dedicated to building community and finding innovative ways to infuse creativity into her work as a public health professional. Catie brings her passion for coalescing people to collaborate, create and learn along with her expertise in project management, research and education to the Flux Foundation.
